Begin by preparing the aioli sauce. Mix the mayonnaise with garlic powder in a small bowl and set aside.
Cut the tomato into thin slices. Remove the pit and skin from the avocado, and slice it thinly.
Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the plant-based beef slices, sprinkle with salt and black pepper, and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side until they are nicely browned. Remove from heat and set aside.
Spread butter on one side of each slice of whole grain bread.
In a clean skillet or griddle over medium heat, toast the buttered side of each bread slice until golden brown. Flip the bread slices to the other side and lightly toast.
To assemble the sandwiches, start with one slice of toasted bread, spread a tablespoon of the aioli sauce over the non-buttered side.
Layer with a piece of lettuce, a slice of tomato, and one slice of the cooked plant-based beef. Add a slice of cheddar cheese.
Place a second slice of bread on top, again spreading a tablespoon of aioli on the non-buttered side before adding.
Repeat the layering with lettuce, tomato, plant-based beef, avocado slices, and another cheddar slice.
Top with the last slice of toasted bread, adding aioli on the non-buttered side before placing.
Secure each sandwich with toothpicks and slice diagonally into halves. Serve immediately.
