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 love a good beef recipe. This looks so tasty.
This is my kind of sandwich. I’m a nut for onion, especially caramelized, on anything.
Hmm looks so hearty :0
My dad loves open faced sandwiches so I will be trying this recipe on him.
I love these sandwiches.
Flank Steak is a cheap cut of meat, but it is so favorable. This recipe is a great preparation of the flank steak. Yum!
Not sure how I missed this recipe! This looks delicious and is even worthy of an entertainment dish.
Very nice looking looks good

Beautiful and easy to make. I don’t even need to use my grill.
Yummy, I love Sweet Baby Rays Barbecue Sauce. My Favorite!! And this Recipe is awesome. I can’t wait till we get decent enough weather to Barbecue again!! Still getting cool weather and alot of Rain. We get a Sunny Day here and there just don’t know from one day to the next! Lol! I have never tried Flank steak before. But it sure does look good. Thank You for sharing your Barbecue recipe.
That sandwich looks just perfect. I bet it taste delicious. Love such easy recipes.
This recipe looks soo good! I haven’t made flank steak in years. I now remember just how tasty it can be. I want to try this one!
Crazy! I just bought some Jane’s Krazy Seasonings Mixed Up Salt at Cost Plus World Market (a place that I love), and I have Redmond Seasoned Salt, but Ono Hawaiian Seasoning I do not have. Should I buy it? Can I fake it. I looked at the ingredients (though btw your link doesn’t lead to them, but just is a repeat of the Jane’s) and probably not, so I’m just gonna try it with the two that I have. I have 6 flank steaks and 10 people. I hope this works out right!
The sandwich looks delicious and I like how simple the recipe is.
