Author: Alexzandra O'Donnell
Recipe type: Main Dish
Serves: 5
Ingredients
- 1 ½ to 2 pounds of flank steak
- ¾ loaf of sliced French bread (1/2" thick)
- ¾ cup of BBQ sauce
- 2 tablespoons of season salt
- 1 Onion
- 4 tablespoons of butter
- 1 tablespoon of water
- Non-stick spray
Instructions
- Prepare a non-stick sprayed pan to marinate flank steak.
- Place flank steak in prepared pan. Cover one side with ¼ cup of BBQ sauce and then shake 1 tablespoon of seasoned salt evenly over top. Flip steak over and repeat on other side.
- Cover pan and place in fridge. Allow steak to marinade for at least one hour. Steak may marinate for up to 24 hours to increase flavor.
- Begin to prepare onions and bread 15 minutes prior cooking steak. Prepare a skillet with a ½ tablespoon of butter and heat until melted. Place slice of French bread on top of melted butter and fry until lightly brown. Flip and repeat with all slices of bread. Make sure pan is nicely coated with butter while cooking.
- Once all bread is toasted, use the same pan to prepare onions in. Keep pan at a low heat with a butter layer while cutting onion into long pieces or into cubes. Place cut onion into pan with ½ tablespoon of butter, 1 tablespoon of water and ⅛ cup of BBQ sauce. Allow to simmer while steak is cooking.
- Ready a broiler pan by lining bottom with aluminum foil and spraying with non-stick spray. Heat broiler on your oven to the highest setting, or if this is not an option on your oven, turn the broiler on. If your oven does not have broiler settings, it may increase cook times.
- Remove steak from fridge, transfer to the broiler pan, and put in oven a few inches under the broiler. Cook for 6-8 minutes, flip over, and cook for another 6-8 minutes. Juices will appear on top of the steak, and the edges will be nicely crisp when flank steak is done. NOTE: Flank steak may also be grilled on high heat instead of broiling.
- Transfer the steak to a cutting board. Cut the steak diagonally into thin pieces by slicing against the grain of the steak.
- Place steak and onions on top of a slice toasted French bread. Drizzle remaining BBQ sauce over top of open-faced sandwiches.

I’d love the Char-Broil Classic 4-Burner Gas Grill because I don’t have one and it looks great!
I would like the Imarku BBQ Grill & Baking Mats because I have one mat and it’s awesome!
I’d like the Yoheer 932F Oven Mitts，Cut & Heat Resistant Gloves,Chef Baking Supplies,Grill Accessories,good for Barbecue so I don’t get burns on my hands.
Thanks for the contest.
how about do it yourself? Franklin Barbecue: A Meat-Smoking Manifesto got to learn sometime
I want the Yoheer 932F Oven Mitts. The fabric mitts I can still feel the heat from the BBQ.
I want the Steak cookbook. I also like the Coleman grill.
We need the StarCat Digital Stainless Cooking Thermometer with Instant Read for Food, Grill, BBQ because it really takes the guesswork out of knowing when certain meats are ready on the grill and not under or over cooked 🙂
We need to get the Weber 741001 Original Kettle 22-Inch Charcoal Grill! We do not currently have a BBQ Grill and could really use this to cook up delicious BBQ! I have saved so many grill recipes and am ready to try some out 🙂
Because we could definitely use some help in this area — The Barbecue! Bible would be an awesome item to have!
My Must have BBQ item is the Char-Broil Classic 4-Burner Gas Grill can’t have BBQ without a good grill.
I’d have to say my number one must try this season is the Weber 10020 Smokey Joe 14-Inch Portable Grill because you never know where adventure is going to take you so you wanna be ready 😉
Thank you for this great giveaway!
I like the Charbroil 4 burner gas grill.
I would like the cookbook titled New Vegetarian Grill: 250 Flame-Kissed Recipes for Fresh, Inspired Meals. It’s easy enough to get recipes for grilling meat but not as much for side dishes, desserts, or simply vegetarian main dishes.
I MUST have the Imarku BBQ Grill & Baking Mats, Durable , Heat Resistant, Non-Stick Grilling Accessories ,Works on Gas, Charcoal, Electric Grill and more- 15.75 x 13″ – (Set of 2) because I love to grill veggies and this would be perfect so they don’t fall through the grate.
It is not a bbq without bbq sauce
Mr. Bar-B-Q 94001X 18-Piece Stainless-Steel Barbecue Set with Storage Case because it has everything I need.
I must have the Barbecue Bible for some great recipes
I could definitely use a new grill , since the last one seemed to walk out of my yard and no one
knows where it went..
I need a copy of The Barbecue! Bible because everyone swears at my barbecue. Or at it.
I went and looked but ah, I don’t really eat meat and grilled food is one of my migraine triggers so I haven’t eaten it in ages. I’m a real buzzkill at summer parties. lol
