Instructions
- Preheat grill or grill pan to medium-high. Oil the grill racks or pan with olive oil. Season steak all over with salt and pepper. Cook steak, turning several times, until outside is well-charred and interior is medium-rare, about 8 to 10 minutes total. When done, place on cutting board and tent with foil until ready to assemble sandwiches.
- Meanwhile, in a small microwave-safe bowl, combine butter and smashed garlic cloves. Microwave in 10-second increments until melted.
- Remove garlic cloves from butter and discard. Using a pastry brush, smear garlicky butter over bread slices. Grill bread slices 2 to 3 minutes per side until a bit charred and toasty. Hold on a cooling rack. (If using a grill pan, wipe out pan from steak oils/juices first).
- In a bowl, mash avocados with a fork until chunky-smooth. Add lime juice, scallions, and cilantro. Season with salt if desired.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together sour cream, Tabasco, and lime zest.
- Slice steak into 1/2”-thick slices.
- Assemble each sandwich: On one slice of toast, smear avocado mixture, top with a generous pile of sliced steak, a drizzle of spicy crema, and top with another piece of toast. Slice in half and serve.
