Ingredients
Water
3 cup(s)
Garlic
6 clove(s), unpeeled
Cherry tomatoes
2 cup(s), or grape tomatoes, chopped
English cucumber
½ medium, diced
Red onion
½ medium, thinly sliced
Cilantro
¼ cup(s), chopped
Jalapeño pepper
1 medium, seeded and minced
Apple cider vinegar
3 Tbsp
Olive oil
1 Tbsp
Uncooked lean trimmed sirloin beef
1 pound(s)
Dried oregano
2 tsp
Table salt
½ tsp
Black pepper
½ tsp
Mixed grain bread

Instructions
1
Combine the water and garlic in a small saucepan and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat and simmer until the garlic is very tender, about 10 minutes; drain.
2
When the garlic is cool enough to handle, remove the skin. Put the garlic in a small bowl and mash with a fork.
3
Toss together the tomatoes, cucumber, onion, cilantro, jalapeño pepper, vinegar, and oil in a medium bowl.
4
Spray the broiler rack with nonstick spray and preheat the broiler. Sprinkle the steak with the oregano, salt, and pepper. Broil the steak 5 inches from the heat until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the side of the steak registers 145°F for medium-rare, about 5 minutes on each side. Transfer to a cutting board and let stand 5 minutes. Cut the steak across the grain into thin slices.
5
Spread the mashed garlic evenly over the bread. Top the bread evenly with the steak and salsa.

Yields 1 sandwich per serving.
