Recipe Instructions:

Marinate the Steak:
- Place the flank steak in a large baking dish and pour olive oil over it to coat. Marinate for 20 minutes.
-
-
Cook the Steak:
- Heat a broiler or grill. Broil or grill the steak, turning once, until browned on the outside but still pink in the middle, about 10 minutes. Remove from heat and let it rest on a cutting board for 5 minutes.
-
Prepare the Onions:
- Meanwhile, heat a skillet over medium-low heat and add a bit of olive oil if needed. Add the thinly sliced onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until they are very browned and soft, about 15 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
-
Assemble the Sandwiches:
- Cut the rested steak across the grain into very thin slices.
- Place the steak slices on the bottom halves of the sandwich rolls.
- Top each with a generous portion of cooked onions.
- Sprinkle crumbled blue cheese over the onions.
- Close the sandwiches with the top halves of the rolls.
-
Serve:
- These sandwiches are best served immediately while warm. They pair well with cole slaw and potato chips for a quick and delicious meal.
Notes:
- Marinating Time: The prep time includes the 20-minute marinating time for the steak.
- Cooking Method: You can choose to broil or grill the steak based on your preference and equipment availability.
- Optional Additions: For extra flavor, you can add sliced mushrooms or bell peppers to the onions while cooking.
- Storage: Leftover sandwiches can be wrapped tightly and refrigerated, though they are best enjoyed fresh.
