Steak Sandwhiches

My father in law is coming from virginia to kansas to help drive back to virginia with my DH and DS. So since we are moving to Fort Belvoir because of our daughter I wanted stuff that was quick to cook and would be filling at the same time. These will do the trick. I did cheat and bought store bought steak cuts fries to go with dinner.

Enjoy!



















Grilled Flank Steak
1 Pound Flank Steak or Top Round steak cut thin
Salt
Pepper
Garlic Powder
Onion Powder
Paprika
Cumin
Sandwich Ingredients
Lettuce
Tomato
Baguette
Garlic Aioli
Grilled Red Onions


Grilled Red Onion
1. Cut the ends from the onion and peel the outer layer from the onion.
2. Cut the onion into ¼ inch slices.
3. Brush the onions with olive oil. Use less than one teaspoon of olive oil for the whole onion.
4. Place the onion on the grill over medium heat. We use a vegetable metal tray for the grill but you can place directly on the grill or on tinfoil directly on the grill.
5. Cook about 6-8 minutes on each side until caramelized and delicious.

Garlic Aioli
1. Combine tablespoons of low fat mayo, a pressed clove of garlic, a teaspoon of fresh lemon juice, and salt and pepper into a bowl. Spread the aioli on the baguette. You can also use as a dipping sauce for the Onion Rings.
Flank Steak
1. Trim the excessive fat from the flank steak.
2. Pound the flank steak with a meat tenderizer for 15 seconds on each side. Remember to pound the meat evenly. You are doing this since we are not marinating the meat to ensure tenderness.
3. Season the meat with the salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and cumin. This is really to taste. If you like more of one spice than the other; feel free to use more.
4. Place the meat on the grill over Medium/High heat. Cook 7-10 minutes on each side or until you reach your desired level of doneness.
5. Let the meat rest for 10 minutes,
6. Cut the meat on a bias in thin slices.
Assemble the sandwich with the grilled red onions, 4 to 5oz of flank steak, garlic aioli, lettuce, and tomato. Enjoy!!!
