2253. SKIRT STEAK SANDWICHES on BACON WAFFLE BREAD

yields six servings


6 tablespoons mayonnaise
1 1/2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
3 tablespoons dijon mustard
salt and pepper
1 1/2 pounds skirt steak, cut into 6 pieces
extra-virgin olive oil, for brushing
6 slices cooked bacon, crumbled
3 cups pancake mix (gluten-free, if desired), prepared according to package directions
cooking spray
6 leaves iceberg lettuce
3 tomatoes, thinly sliced

In a small bowl, combine the mayonnaise, lemon juice and 1 1/2 tablespoons mustard. Season with salt; refrigerate.

Preheat a grill or grill pan to high. Brush the skirt steak with olive oil, season with salt and pepper and grill, turning once, for about 8 minutes for medium-rare; let sit. Thinly slice against the grain.

Meanwhile, preheat a waffle iron to medium-high. In a large bowl, stir the bacon and the remaining 1 1/2 tablespoons mustard into the prepared pancake batter.

Grease the waffle iron with cooking spray and, working in batches, pour in enough batter to barely fill each square; close and cook according to manufacturer’s instructions until golden. Spread each waffle with some of the lemon mayonnaise. Top with a lettuce leaf, tomato slices, steak slices and another waffle bread slice, mayo side down.
