Begin by making the basil mayonnaise so the flavors have time to come together. Combine all the ingredients in a blender and pulse until combined. Cover and refrigerate while you prepare the sandwich.
Heat a cast iron griddle pan/skillet or outdoor grill until smoking hot. Season the skirt steak with plenty of kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper. Drizzle with extra-virgin olive oil then grill both sides for 3 to 4 minutes until medium rare. Set aside loosely tented with aluminum foil while you prepare the other fillings.
To assemble, take one slice of the toasted bread and rub a garlic clove all over 1 side. Put a big slather of basil mayonnaise across the bread. Layer the lettuce over the top and then the thick-cut slices of tomato. Top with the crispy bacon slices and season with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper. Take the skirt steak and using a sharp knife cut across the grain into thick slices. Lay the pieces of the sliced skirt steak on the top of the open sandwich and serve with more basil mayonnaise on the side.

09/16/09 02:50 PM | How is this considered a classic BLT?Don't get me wrong, I love Tyler. It's just that I'm tired of AOL teasing us with a link, that has nothing to do with what you end up with. A BLT is made with BACON. This should be called a steak sandwich, period. All too often, AOL doesn't deliver what they promise, just to lure you away from the main page. At least I didn't have to look at 25 pop-up pictures of mayonaise and tomatoes, just to get to one that had bacon. |

02/06/09 11:22 PM | Unbelievably good sandwichI had no problem finding the indredients at the grocery store. It was so easy to make, and it turned out to be a big hit with my family.
Even my fussy 16 year old loved it. It's very tasty, and quite filling. One word of caution. Go easy on rubbing the garlic on the toasted bread. The fresh garlic rub can be a very over-powering flavor. Some like it that way, others don't. Try to rub the garlic on modestly. |

Here's an easy, reliable way to ensure a moist and flavorful turkey...simply baste the turkey with chicken stock during roasting. When the turkey is done, use a bit more stock to make a quick and tasty gravy.
