Curried Pepper-Veggie-Steak Rolls


                Serves 4
                1 pouch (10 ounces) frozen cooked brown rice
                1 tablespoon vegetable oil
                ½ tablespoon chopped fresh ginger
                1 clove garlic, chopped
                ⅝ teaspoon curry powder
                ½ can (15.5 ounce) chickpeas, rinsed
                ½ can (13.5 ounce) coconut milk
                1½ tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided
                ½ large onion, sliced
                ½ bag (10 ounces) frozen sliced bell peppers
                Salt and pepper
                ½ container (5 ounces) baby spinach leaves
                1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
                ½ teaspoon crumbled dried oregano
                3½ ounce flatiron steak
                4 hero (sub) rolls, split, some inner crumbs removed
1.       Position a broiler rack 4 to 5 inches from the heat, and a second rack in the lower third of the oven.  Preheat the broiler.
2.       Microwave or heat the rice according to package directions.
3.       Meanwhile, in a medium skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat and cook the ginger and garlic, stirring for 2 minutes.  Add the curry powder and cook, stirring, for 1 minute.
4.       Stir in the chickpeas and coconut milk and bring to a boil; cook 2 minutes.  Increase heat to medium-high and add ½ tablespoon olive oil, onion, and bell peppers; season with salt and pepper.  Cook, stirring, 2 minutes.  Stir in the spinach and cook, stirring, until just wilted, about 2 minutes.
5.       Meanwhile, whisk together the vinegar, oregano, and remaining olive oil.  Season with salt and pepper.
6.       Season the steak with salt and pepper and broil, turning once, for about 8 minutes for medium-rare.  While the steak is broiling, toast the rolls on a baking sheet on the bottom rack for 3 minutes.
7.       Let the steak rest for 5 minutes, then thinly slice.  Toss with curry mixture, then with dressing.  Divide rice among half of rolls and top with curry mixture; top with other half of rolls.
