Put your bikini/swim trunks away for the day and go make this sandwich. I promise you won’t regret it. Though this isn’t a healthy summer recipe, the sandwich is so delicious that it doesn’t matter. And as I’m sure you can see from the photo, the gooey cheese takes the cake.
One of the best parts about this sandwich is that it’s made up of leftovers. Sure, not everyone has leftover beef tenderloin and homemade pesto sitting in the fridge, but if you do (or want to make everything fresh), I highly suggest you do so. :)
Recipe:
Homemade pesto, use as much as desired
1 tomato, sliced
2 slices provolone
1/2 avocado, sliced
Beef tenderloin, grilled (use rub of your choice)
La Brea Bakery whole grain bread
Directions:
Prepare homemade pesto, as directed. Place two slices of whole grain bread on cutting board. Top bottom piece with beef tenderloin, then provolone. Melt cheese under broiler.
Once melted, remove bottom half of sandwich from broiler, then top cheese with avocado and tomato. Spread a generous amount of pesto on the bottom of the top slice of bread, then place on sandwich. Serve hot.
Oh my, that is one crazy delicious sandwich. Beef Tenderloin, Avocado, and Pesto – 3 of my favorite things!
This sandwich looks amazing! I love every element of it and I’m sure they all come together to produce something heavenly!
Brilliant taste explosion sandwich Caroline!

I want to eat at your house. Screw the bikini. This looks amazing…and I love that you specifically called out La Brea Bread! ;) Nice touch.
Forget about the swimming suit…I don’t swim. I just want this sandwich!
I have three pots full of basil and I am in love with the idea of pesto as a sandwich spread. Forget the swim suits, this is one treat worth having
I can see why the love is at first bite, believe me :D

Put your bikini/swim trunks away for the day and go make this sandwich.–
PURE SIN.
I LOVE IT! XX
a gorgeous sandwich Caroline. (being the non-meat eater sort, I was happy to see the beef tucked beneath the oozing layer of cheese! so something very like this – but not Exactly this – will end up on plates at our house! Thanks for the inspiration!)
Ohhhh man, Caroline! I want leftovers at your house. Look at all that amazing gooey melty cheese! Seriously. Provolone is the best. My mouth is watering looking at all of those photos.
Oh my, this is making me drool! It looks fantastic, love all your ingredients!
Oh wow. That looks really awesome.
I need to buy a tenderloin steak just so I can have leftovere and make you great looking sandwich.
