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.

We need the BBQ Grill Tools Set with 16 Barbecue Accessories -Stainless Steel Utensils with Aluminium Case- Men Complete Outdoor Grilling Kit for Dad.The tools we have are beat and it’s time for new ones.
I would try to snag a Brinkmann Smoke N Grill (dual smoker and griller). We don’t have either
I would love the Weber 7416 Rapidfire Chimney Starter. I love smoked pork chops and burgers!
For me, I really like the Coleman Road Trip Grill that is offered on Amazon.com at a great price. And the reason why is because I think after a long 2 years of my husband’s chemo treatments and him now able to taste and enjoy foods again and the chance to travel and enjoy the outdoors, that it would be ideal to use on the go for us to visit the nearby national parks camping and even stop along the scenic road side to have some great memorable grill out’s. So much more fun to cook your own steaks and BBQ and less expensive. amazon.com/Coleman-9949-750-Road-Trip-Grill/dp/B0009V1BDA/ref=sr_1_19?ie=UTF8&qid=1460397469&sr=8-19&keywords=barbecue
Good charcoal is key to good grilling
I need a grille to get started.
I’d love to have the heat-resistant gloves for the grill. I hate to burn my hand on the hot grill and I do it all of the time!
A must have is the Weber 22 inch charcoal grill because its perfect for the size of our family and we love grilling out.
The Mr. Bar-B-Q 94001X 18-Piece Stainless-Steel Barbecue Set with Storage Case has everything my husband would need to cook me up an amazing steak.
I need the Grill Mats by Twisted Chef since I live in Kansas City where we BBQ all the time!
I want to try the Stone Brewing Co. Barbecue Sauce Box of 3 sounds really good and seems to have a really good rating. I love trying new sauces.
I would have to snag the Mr. Bar-B-Q 94001X 18-Piece Stainless-Steel Barbecue Set with Storage Case!! Our barbeque tools have seen their final days.. completely destroyed and half of them are lost!
I need the Weber 7416 Rapidfire Chimney Starter this season! I sometimes have trouble getting the charcoal to heat evenly. I love that this eliminates the use of lighter fluid as well!
We need the rapid fire chimney starter. M
I’d want The Barbecue Bible! because I’m always looking for new recipes!
A great start to the end of a winter season cant get better without having a picnic. The opportunity would be all the more great if I was selected for a prize like the Char-Broil Classic 4-Burner Gas Grill!
I really need to buy a gas meter because there is nothing worse than running out when grilling and not knowing how much is left is horrible
I’d love the Char-Broil Classic 4-Burner Gas Grill, we don’t have a grill at the moment
The Cook’s Illustrated Guide To Grilling And Barbecue

I would want the “Weber Style 6434 Professional-Grade Vegetable Basket”. I am a vegetarian who loves to grill things, definitely love vegetables on the grill! This would be a great accessory to our grill.
