Instructions

**Make the Chipotle Sauce:**

  • In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise, sour cream, lime juice, honey, black pepper, chili powder, and adobo sauce. Stir until smooth, then set aside.

**Make the Garlic and Herb Spread:**

  • In another small bowl, mix together mayonnaise, parsley, garlic, parmesan, black pepper, and oregano. Set aside.

**Make the Steak:**

  • Pat the filet mignon dry with paper towels.
  • Season all sides with salt and black pepper.
  • Heat a cast iron skillet over high heat. Add vegetable oil and wait for it to smoke.
  • Cook the steak for 2 to 3 minutes on each side until golden brown crust forms.
  • Reduce heat to medium-low, add butter, and baste the steak for another 2 to 3 minutes.
  • Remove the steak from the skillet and let it rest, covered with foil, for 10 minutes before slicing.

**Assembling:**

  • Toast the bread under the broiler until golden. Watch closely to prevent burning.
  • Spread garlic mayo on one side of the bread.
  • Layer lettuce, tomatoes, avocado, steak, chipotle aioli, parmesan, parsley, bacon, and top with another slice of bread.
  • Press down gently, slice in half, and savor every bite!

Notes

For a tangy kick, add a splash of pickle juice over the avocado, lettuce, and tomato. It balances the richness of the sandwich beautifully!
