Flank is a flavorful, lean cut of steak that's sliced thin and served. Make the deep, savory marinade ahead of time and let it work its magic on the meat for up to two days in the fridge. It makes party time a cinch, as the steak cooks in just 10 minutes (and this recipe can easily be doubled-or tripled to feed a crowd.)

Steps:
- Generously season steak with salt and pepper. In a large resealable bag, combine vinegar, Worcestershire, mustard, brown sugar, and oil. Rub rosemary sprigs between your palms for a few seconds to release oils, then transfer to bag. Add steak, onion, and bell peppers; remove excess air from bag, seal, and shake until marinade evenly coats meat and vegetables. Refrigerate at least 12 hours and up to 2 days.
- Remove steak and vegetables from refrigerator 1 hour before grilling. Preheat grill for direct-heat cooking. Brush grates with oil. Using tongs, remove steak from bag, allowing excess marinade to drip back in. Grill, turning a few times, until charred in places and a thermometer inserted into thickest part registers 125 degrees for medium-rare, 8 to 12 minutes, depending on thickness. Transfer to a plate; tent with foil and let stand at least 10 minutes before slicing. Meanwhile, remove vegetables from marinade and grill, turning a few times, until charred in places and tender, 10 to 12 minutes. Toast bread on grill just until charred and crisp in places, about 1 minute a side. Thinly slice steak; serve with vegetables and bread.

Steps:
- Combine first 7 ingredients in large bowl. Divide steaks, bell peppers and red onions among large shallow pans. Pour marinade over. Turn to coat. Cover and refrigerate 3 to 6 hours.
- Prepare barbecue (high heat). Drain steaks and vegetables. Grill steaks to desired degree of doneness, about 4 minutes per side for rare. Transfer to platter. Grill vegetables until beginning to brown, about 4 minutes per side. Slice steaks thinly across grain. Arrange steaks and vegetable on large platter. Serve with grilled rolls, allowing diners to assemble sandwiches.
Tips:
- Choose the Right Flank Steak: Select a flank steak with good marbling for added flavor and tenderness.
- Tenderize the Steak: Pounding the steak with a meat mallet or using a fork to create small holes helps tenderize it and allows the marinade to penetrate deeper.
- Flavorful Marinade: Use a marinade that complements the beef's flavor, such as a mixture of olive oil, garlic, herbs, and spices. Allow the steak to marinate for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight.
- Proper Grilling Technique: Grill the steak over medium-high heat to create a nice sear on the outside while keeping the inside juicy. Use a meat thermometer to ensure it reaches your desired doneness.
- Rest the Steak: After grilling, let the steak rest for a few minutes before slicing. This allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in a more tender and flavorful steak.
- Build a Flavorful Sandwich: Use a sturdy bread like ciabatta or baguette for the sandwich. Layer the steak with roasted red peppers, sautéed onions, and arugula for a combination of flavors and textures.
Conclusion:
Grilled flank steak on ciabatta with red peppers is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed for lunch, dinner, or as a party appetizer.
