Instructions
Dressing: In a food processor or blender, combine mayonnaise with canned chipotles. Blend until totally combined.
Transfer to a separate container and store in the fridge. Marinade: In a separate bowl, mix olive oil, Worcestershire sauce, cumin, oregano, honey, and reserved adobo sauce.
Pour marinade over flank steak, coating both sides. Cover and marinate in refrigerator for at least two hours.
Remove flank steak from fridge. Grill over high heat, only about 1 1/2 to 2 minutes per side until rare/medium rare.
Remove from heat and allow meat to rest a few minutes. Slice very thin shingles of meat on an extreme diagonal. Mound salad greens on a each plate. Drape strips of warm steak over the sides of the greens so that they're cascading downward.
Lay tomato and cucumber slices on one side of the plate, and place red onion slices on top.
Drizzle the whole salad with chipotle dressing. The warm meat on the cool salad, combined with the flavorful and spicy dressing, is out of this world.
Recommended wine: Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Pinot Noir
Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Pinot Noir are my top picks for Steak. After all, beef and red wine are a classic combination. Generally, leaner steaks go well with light or medium-bodied reds, such as pinot noir or merlot, while fattier steaks can handle a bold red, such as cabernet sauvingnon. One wine you could try is Director's Merlot. It has 5 out of 5 stars and a bottle costs about 21 dollars.

Director's Merlot
Our 2014 Director's Merlot offers lushness and a round, full palate. Its fragrance demonstrates red and black fruit with hints of anise and spiced wood. Juicy upon entry, the wine broadens and becomes velvety on the palate with flavors of plum, loganberry and black cherry accentuated by subtle spice notes of espresso bean and toasted vanilla. Medium tannins support the body of this wine, offering sophistication in its finish. Pairs nicely with brisket, grilled pork chops and linguine with pesto.
