This month the Creative Cooking Crew Challenge was to make a sandwich using 3 ingredients starting with the letters "BLT".
A traditional BLT sandwich is made with Bacon, Lettuce, and Tomato, but of course we could not make the traditional BLT, but instead we needed to be creative using other ingredients that started with the letters BLT. I decided to make a Beef with Lemon Aioli and Tomatillo Sauce Sandwich. I love the combination of flavors in this sandwich!
Buen provecho!

Nummy nom, steak sammie! And skirt steak seems like a great cut to use as well. I love the sauce and the crunchy texture from the onions and cabbage. That was the only thing mine was missing was a bit of crunch. Well done, Erica, I'm going to remember your tomatillo sauce!
