Seasoned steak, peppers and onions are grilled (indoors or out) and piled on buns with juicy tomatoes and a smoky-spicy mayo. Cleanup is a breeze because everything is cooked on the grill. You can even throw the buns on the grill for a few minutes until they get nice charred marks. The chipotle mayonnaise has a nice little spice to it, adding extra flavor to the flank steak sandwich. Make a double batch of the chipotle mayonnaise and refrigerate it to use on sandwiches, hamburgers, tacos and more.
