Steak Sandwiches:
This would be a good one to make for your Valentine!!
1 cup flat-leaf parsley
5 garlic cloves
1 jalapeno, seeded and roughly chopped
1/2 tsp crushed red pepper flakes
juice of two fresh limes
1/3 cup red wine vinegar
1 cup olive oil
_________________________________________
Salt and Pepper to taste
1 small red onion
3 tomatoes, whatever type you like
2 pounds flank steak
sub-style sandwich roles
4 ounces of goats cheese, crumbled (don't let this scare you away!)
Fire up your BBQ!
Bring your piece of flank steak out of the refrigerator and season with Salt and Pepper (be generous). Set aside....
In a food processor, pulse the parsley, garlic and jalapeno until everything is mixed up. Add the red pepper flakes, lime juice, vinegar and olive oil. YUMO. Pour this mixture into a mixing bowl.
Add the red onion and tomatoes to the olive oil mixture and set aside.
Place the flank steak on the hot grill seasoned side down. Grill for 4-6 minutes / side depending on thickness. Don't over cook the meat you will be sorry.
Remove the steak from the grill and place on a plate and promptly cover with foil for 10 minutes. Don't touch it........
Place your opened sub roles on a baking sheet.
After the 10 minutes has passed remove the steak from underneath the foil and slice in thin strips. I hope that it is a bit bloody (that is a good sign that you didn't over cook it)
Now place the sliced steak meat on one half of the sub role and the olive oil/onion/tomoto mixture on the other half. Crumble bits of goat's cheese over both halfs and place under the broiler until the cheese gets warm 2 minutes or so.
Pull the sandwiches out before the bread burns, squish them together and enjoy!!
***I usually cook up some pasta noodles and use 1/2 of my olive oil mixture as dressing for the pasta and eat the pasta with the sandwich. ****
