  • 1 large egg
  • 2 chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, minced
  • 1 tablespoon water
  • 1 cup saltine cracker crumbs
  • 3 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro leaves
  • 4 to 6 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 6 cups mixed salad greens
  • 1 cucumber, seeded, sliced
  • 1-1/2 cups diced tomatoes
  • Chopped fresh cilantro leaves
Dressing:

  • 1 teaspoon adobo sauce

Cooking:

  1. Whisk dressing ingredients in small bowl until blended. Set aside.
  2. Beat egg, chipotle peppers and water in shallow dish until blended. Combine cracker crumbs and 3 tablespoons cilantro in second shallow dish. Dip each beef steak into egg mixture, then into crumb mixture to coat both sides.
  3. Heat 2 tablespoons oil in 12-inch nonstick skillet over medium to medium-high heat until hot. Place 1 to 2 steaks in skillet. (Do not overcrowd.) Cook 3 to 4 minutes or until coating is golden brown and beef is medium rare (145°F) to medium (160°F) doneness, turning once. (Do not overcook.) Remove; keep warm. Repeat with remaining steaks, adding additional oil as needed and adjusting heat as necessary to prevent over browning.
