- Drizzle oil on slices of the sourdough bloomer and rub the fresh garlic to give a little hint, then put to one side until the steak is cooked.
- Meanwhile rub your steaks with the fresh rosemary, one clove of garlic, the cumin and a good pinch of salt and cracked black pepper and a teaspoon of oil. Rub well into the steaks and leave on the side for 2 hours to come to room temperature.
- Next cook the steaks on a red hot griddle pan to your liking and then rest the meat. While the meat is resting, chargrill thick slices of the shallots.
- Using the sourdough bread, mop up the juices from the steak and then chargrill the inside of the bread.
- Next crush the avocado roughly with a pestle and mortar, add the lime and chopped fresh chilli and a pinch of salt.
- For the maple and chipotle crème fraiche sauce, mix all the ingredients together.
- To build the sandwich, first spread a good layer of the crushed avocado mixture on the base of the sandwich, then some rocket leaves and layer with slices of the steak and shallots.
- Once you have covered the base put a few dollops of avocado on the meat and crumble the blue cheese roughly on top.
- Lastly drizzle the chipotle sauce over the top lightly and any leftover sauce put to the side for extra to add while eating. This is a great sharing sandwich!
