Steps:
- In a large, resealable plastic bag combine the marinade ingredients. Place the steak in the bag (cut the steak crosswise in half, if needed, to fit in the bag), press the air out of the bag, and seal tightly. Turn the bag to distribute the marinade, place in a bowl, and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight, turning occasionally. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, warm 2 tablespoons oil. Add the bell peppers, onion, salt, and pepper and cook until the vegetables begin to soften, 10 to 12 minutes, stirring occasionally. Reduce the heat to medium and cook until the vegetables are very tender and caramelized, 8 to 10 minutes more, stirring often. Remove from the heat and cover to keep warm. Prepare the grill for direct cooking over medium heat (350° to 450°F). Remove the steak from the bag and discard the marinade. Grill the steak over direct medium heat, with the lid closed, until cooked to your desired doneness, 8 to 12 minutes for medium rare, turning once. During the last 30 seconds to 1 minute of grilling time, toast the rolls, cut side down, over direct heat. Remove from the grill and let the steak rest for 3 to 5 minutes. Cut the steak across the grain into thin slices. Spread 1 teaspoon mustard on the bottom half of each split roll. Build the sandwiches with the meat and the pepper-onion mixture. Serve warm.
TANGY FLANK STEAK SANDWICHES
This recipe is from Sunset magazine, probably back in the 80's. My mom used to make it for us for Father's Day every year. DH and I now make it, but we don't make sandwiches. We do double the sauce to pour over the meat on our plates. Instead of making sandwiches, we dip french bread in the extra sauce. It tastes great leftover too.
