Ingredients

2 (8 to 10 oz.) skirt steaks

1 medium, sweet yellow onion cut in 1/4-inch slices

2 small tomatoes cut in 1/4-inch slices

2 tablespoons canola oil

Salt and freshly ground black pepper

2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar

2 teaspoons chopped fresh thyme leaves

4 (6-inch) pieces of baguette sliced in half lengthwise and lightly toasted

1/2 ripe Fresh California avocado thinly sliced, for garnish

4 fresh thyme sprigs for garnish

Cracked black pepper

--- California Avocado Blue Cheese Spread

4 ounces Roquefort cheese (or similar blue cheese) at room temp.

2 tablespoons Freshly squeezed lemon juice

4 dashes Hot sauce (I like Frank's Xtra Hot)

1 teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper

Salt to taste

Directions

-- California Avocado Blue Cheese Spread:

In a large bowl, combine avocados with blue cheese, lemon juice, hot sauce, and pepper. Mash with a fork until mixture is thoroughly combined. Taste and season lightly with salt (Note: careful here, blue cheese can be salty)

-- Grilled Steak:

About 30 minutes before cooking, remove skirt steaks from refrigerator. Trim any outer pieces of fat or silver skin, but marbling within beef should remain.

Preheat grill or sauté pan to very hot. Pat skirt steaks dry. Brush steaks and onion and tomato slices with canola oil and season generously with salt and pepper. Grill or sauté steaks, 2 minutes per side for rare. Allow steak to rest several minutes on a cutting board.

Meanwhile, on the grill or in the same sauté pan, char the onion slices until just tender, separating into rings. Grill or sauté the tomato slices briefly, until lightly charred and warmed through.

In a small bowl, combine olive oil, vinegar and thyme. Add grilled onion and tomato slices to vinaigrette mixture and toss gently.

Spread toasted top halves of baguettes with California Avocado Blue Cheese Spread. Place on the upper level of the grill with the top closed, or under a broiler, until warmed, about 1 to 2 minutes.

Arrange the charred onion and tomato slices on the bottom halves of the baguettes. Slice the steak thinly, at an angle across the grain, and place over the vegetables. Drizzle steak with any leftover balsamic vinaigrette.

Serve sandwiches open-faced, side-by-side on a plate, with thin slices of avocado, thyme sprigs and cracked black pepper for garnish.

Large avocados are recommended for this recipe. A large avocado averages about 8 ounces. If using smaller or larger size avocados adjust the quantity accordingly.

I so agree with you on the warmer weather and grilling! (although that just changed on me this morning- It's snowing and back to 30º) I was just out there grilling my favorite salmon recipe last evening!

OK, this sounds good...Your ingredients sound great!
I'm so sheltered that I had to look up skirt steak! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skirt_steak LOL
Anyway, I have to try this with some of my steak venison (I have a freezer full.) Do you think that would work?
