Ingredients:

• 1 pound boneless beef sirloin, cut 1 inch thick
• 2 Tbsp. rum
• 2 Tbsp. lime juice
• 2 Tbsp. olive oil
• 1 large clove garlic, crushed
• 1/2 tsp. salt
• 1/4 tsp. cayenne pepper
• 1 can (15-ounces) black beans, rinsed, drained, and mashed
• 1/4 cup sour cream
• 1/4 tsp. ground coriander
• 1/4 tsp. ground cumin
• 1 Tbsp. snipped fresh cilantro
• 1 Tbsp. chopped smoked salted almonds
• 12 slices hearty country-style bread, toasted
• 1 cup shredded fresh spinach
• 1 large ripe papaya, peeled and sliced

Method

Place beef in a resealable plastic bag. For marinade, combine the rum, lime juice, oil, garlic, salt, and cayenne pepper; pour over beef in bag. Marinate in the refrigerator several hours or overnight, turning bag occasionally. Drain the steak, discarding marinade. Grill on a rack over medium coals for 11 to 18 minutes or until desired doneness, turning once halfway through. Meanwhile, in a bowl combine the mashed black beans, sour cream, coriander, cumin, cilantro, and almonds. Thinly slice the steak across the grain. Spread the bread slices with the bean mixture. Arrange steak slices on half of the bread; top with spinach, papaya, and remaining bread slices, bean mixture side down.

Notes: A hearty healthy sandwich which would pair well with a bowl of soup.

Number of servings: 6
