Party Flank Sandwiches


We love sandwiches in this house....from Panini's, to toasted cheese, to oven baked....you name them we eat them...here is a twist on a steak sandwich........you can cook it all up and put it in 1 giant loaf of Rustic Bread and slice or you can buy demi loafs and serve the sandwich individually....I usually make 1 big loaf but since I was at Costco I actually picked up some rustic bread that were individual size which it the picture you will see.........I just love crusty rustic bread sandwiches.....

Makes: 1 Large Sandwich or 4-5 Individual Ones

1.5 lbs Flank Steak
Favorite Steak Seasoning
1-2 T Olive Oil (I use garlic flavored)
1 Large Sweet Onion, thinly slices
Salt & Pepper
1 Bell Pepper, thinly sliced (Red, Orange, or Yellow....what ever looks the freshest)
3-4 cloves garlic
1 T Dijon Mustard
1 tsp Hot Sauce
1 1/2 T Worcestershire Sauce
1 T Flour
1 C Beef Stock or broth
1 Lg Loaf Rustic Crusty Bread (or small individual loafs)
10-12 Slices Provolone Cheese

Prepare bread: Slice bread in 1/2 lengthwise, scoop out some of the middle on the top side or both if you like. Toast loaf at 375 degrees for 5-7 min. Set aside.

Season Steak with steak seasoning and Grill for 5-6 min per side for med-rare, cook longer if you want it cooked more. Pull off and let rest.

While steak is cooking, heat olive oil in a pan over med heat add onions, salt & pepper. Cook for 7 min add in garlic, peppers, mustard, hot sauce, and Worcestershire. Cook for another 4-5 min, add in flour stir and cook for 1 min. Add Beef stock and simmer until nice and thick. After Steak has rested slice and add to pepper/onion mixture and stir well.

Layer cheese on both sides of the bread and scoop meat mixture on to the cheese and close sandwich. Cook in oven @ 375 until cheese melts about 5-7 min. Slice into wedges & serve....
