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.

Weber 121020 Go-Anywhere Charcoal Grill ours died last year and want a new one but nothing big
The Barbeque product that I must have this BBQ season is the BBQ Grill Tools Set with 16 Barbecue Accessories. The reason it’s now my most wanted is that it has all the most wonderful, amazing, terrific gizmos and gadgets needed for cooking the perfect food. I most like the idea that it’s stainless steal and it comes in a nice case to keep it all together.
Have a beautiful day one and all!

The heat resistant gloves would be great! Especially for camping and grilling over an open fire!
I absolutely must try the Coleman 2000017442 Road Trip Propane Portable Grill LXE!! We go to a lot of parks in the summer so this wouldbe fabulous to have at the park for cookouts!1!
I MUST have the Char-Broil Classic 4-Burner Gas Grill. We haven’t had a gas grill in years, getting tired of the charcoal mess. Being in coastal South Carolina we grill at least once a week. Good value.
I really need the SKY 1845 charcoal BBQ grill. The grill that I have is too little and it takes a long time to cook a lot of meat.
The weber rapidfire chimney as I need help to get the charcoal started properly
The BBQ would be perfect for my family!
I would love to have this
Kitchen Premium Tool Set- Heat Resistant Silicone Gloves for Cooking, Grilling Barbecue, Baking. Durability For Temperatures Up To 425 F° includes Tongs with Silicone Tips-Meat Claws-Silicone Spatula
Weber 7416 Rapidfire Chimney Starter.
Got to start the fire somehow
I really need the SOGODE BBQ Grill Brush 18″ Barbecue Cleaner Tools! I am sorely lacking in BBQ-specific tools!
Because I’m a prepper, I need a portable grill that is small, yet practical. I viewed the specifications on the Weber 1211001 Jumbo Joe 18-Inch Portable Grill, this looks like my best option. I need one!
I’d love to have the 18-piece barbeque set because I’m always misplacing mine.
I need the Mr. Bar-B-Q 94001X 18 piece stainless steel barbeque set with storage case because my husband is always misplacing something from his set, and product would keep everything in one place.
Yoheer 932F Oven Mitts，Cut & Heat Resistant Gloves,Chef Baking Supplies,Grill Accessories,good for Barbecue（BBQ),100% Cotton Lining, Stripes for Ultimate Grip, Versatile for Kitchen, because my husband always burns himself.
I “must have” the Coleman 2000017442 Road Trip Propane Portable Grill LXE because, hey… the hubby and I are all about the road trips :+)
I would love love love to have the Digital Cooking Thermometer because I can never tell when anything is medium rare!
I am purchasing the Bearclaws for shredding meat. I have been saying for a couple years, there has to be a better way to do this. As soon as I saw the claws, I knew I was purchasing them.
We must have a pack of Sweet Baby Ray’s Barbecue Sauce, because we go thru that stuff!
