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.

well, in order to barbeque I would actually need a grill that works lol— so I would start there. our grill died last summer and we waited to replace it. I followed your link and just fell in love with this stainless steel gas grill—

totally want this! (or something very similar!)
I must have the Mr. Bar-B-Q 94001X 18-Piece Stainless-Steel Barbecue Set with Storage Case this grilling season because our old grill tools got stolen.
My must have pick is the Weber 10020 Smokey Joe 14-Inch Portable Grill
I like the heat-resistant gloves. They look cool and would go well with my apron and chef’s hat.
I would get the Stone Brewing Co. Barbecue Sauce Box of 3 as I like to try new sauces all of the time. The curry mustard sounds interesting.
I must have the StarCat Digital Stainless Cooking Thermometer with Instant Read for Food, Meat, Grill, BBQ
by StarCat so that I can test the inner temp of my meat.
I’d like to have the Set of 3 Highest Quality BBQ Grill & Baking Mats | 100% Non-stick for grilling delicate things like fish.
It’s small, but the sogode BBQ grill brush. My husband is always on the lookout for a good grill brush, and this one looks nice.
I need a Weber Spirit E-320 grill. My current grill is over 20 years old. It is so time!
I must have the SOGODE BBQ Grill Brush 18″ Barbecue Cleaner Tools, 360° Grill Cleaning with 3 Stainless Steel Bristles in 1, for Char-broil, Weber ,Porcelain, Charcoal and Infrared Grills
I so want one of the electric smokers. It could be the Masterbuilt 20075315 or the Smoke Hollow 38202G or some other one. I have a friend who has one and he let me use it. I smoked a pork shoulder and I smoked some chicken wings and they both came out amazing. Even better, it was simple to use.
I need the weber rapid fire chimney starter because it would make lighting my grill so much easier and faster!
I’ve got to have a portable grill like this one: amazon.com/Weber-10020-Smokey-14-Inch-Portable/dp/B00004RALL/ref=sr_1_10?ie=UTF8&qid=1459236640&sr=8-10&keywords=barbecue
The product that I’d want to buy is the book by Samantha Micheals: “140 Of The Best Ever Healthy Vegetarian Barbecue Recipes Book… Revealed!” I’d like to have this book because I don’t meat at all (no, not even chicken or fish), and at barbecues I almost always end up eating a small plate of things like potato salad. :p
BBQ Grill Tools Set with 16 Barbecue Accessories -Perfect Christmas Gifts Idea -Stainless Steel Utensils with Aluminium Case- Men Complete Outdoor Grilling Kit for Dad would be nice, our current equipment has seen better days so some new stuff would be useful
I would love the barbecue bible. I’m not much of a griller but every year I try to get better. I think this book will help out.
Our condo complex doesn’t allow outdoor bbqs so the Excelvan Black Electric Indoor Barbecue Grill, 20*10*4 inch would be wonderful for inside!
I would get the Sweet Baby Ray’s Barbecue Sauce 2/40 Ounce because they have the best sauce.
We really need New Cook out Utensils and Cooking gloves. I went over to Amazon Products & I really like the” Mr. Bar-B-Q 94001X 18-Piece Stainless-Steel Barbecue Set with Storage Case “They look so Durable…. I also love that they have their own case! It’s so much easier & convenient to store them in!!

I already have the ThermoPro TP-07 300 feet Remote Digital Wireless Thermometer on my list. It will probably be a birthday gift for my husband 🙂
