Ingredients

1 beef Flat Iron Steak (about 1 pound)

Marinade and Sauce:

1/4 cup barbecue sauce
1/4 cup canned crushed pineapple
2 tablespoons ancho chile powder
1 tablespoon minced sweet onion
1 garlic clove

4 bolillo rolls, sliced lengthwise, toasted

Garnish

Grilled fresh pineapple slices, pickled onions, shredded lettuce (optional)

Preparation

Step 1

Combine barbecue sauce, pineapple, chile powder, onion and garlic in blender or food processor container. Cover; process 1 minute or until smooth, scraping sides of container as needed. Pour half into bowl, cover and refrigerate.
Step 2

Place steak and remaining barbecue marinade in food-safe plastic bag; turn steak to coat. Close bag securely and marinate in refrigerator 15 minutes to 2 hours. Place steaks on grid over medium, ash-covered coals. Grill, covered, 12 to 16 minutes for medium rare (145°F) to medium (160°F) doneness, turning occasionally. Keep warm.
Step 3

Spread reserved barbecue mixture evenly over cut sides of each roll. Thinly slice steak. Place slices on bottom of rolls. Top with pineapple, onions, and lettuce.

Cooking Tip: You may substitute 1 French baguette, sliced lengthwise, toasted for 4 bolillo rolls. If bread is too thick, scoop out middle and save for another use.
