When your fire is at the right temperature grill the steaks on one side for 5 minutes, not moving them. Flip the steaks once and cook for another 5 minutes on the opposite side. Continue cooking and turning regularly if you want your steaks cooked through more. When you’re happy with the doneness of your steak remove it from the heat and let it rest on a plate covered with foil for 10 minutes.

In the mean time prepare everything for your sandwiches:??Slice the baguettes and toast them slightly on the grid of the fire.??Mix together mayonnaise and hot sauce, season with salt if needed.??Slice the pickles as thick as you want them.

Slice the steaks thinly.Make your sandwiches: smear the mayonnaise / hot sauce mix on the toasted baguette, layer the steak slices, pickles and coriander.??Enjoy with an ice cold beer.??
