  • 2 pounds flank steak

  6. Slice the cooked steak thinly against the grain.

Tips & Substitutions

For a more robust flavor, consider using a dark beer in the marinade. If flank steak is unavailable, sirloin or skirt steak can be great substitutes. Ensure to slice the steak against the grain for tenderness. For a kick, add a dash of Worcestershire sauce to the sour cream mixture. If pressed for time, marinate for just 30 minutes.

Serving Suggestions

Serve the sandwiches with a side of crispy potato chips or a simple green salad for a balanced meal. They pair beautifully with Pot Of Potatoes for a comforting combination. For added flavor, offer pickles or jalapeños on the side for those who enjoy a tangy kick.

Storage & Reheating

Store leftover sandwiches in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, remove the steak and onions, then warm them separately in a skillet over medium heat. Toast the French bread slices lightly in the oven before reassembling for the best texture.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I make the steak sandwiches ahead of time?

Yes, you can prepare the steak and onions in advance, and store them separately in the refrigerator. Assemble the sandwiches just before serving to keep the bread crisp and fresh.

What can I substitute for sour cream?

Greek yogurt is a great substitute for sour cream in this recipe. It will give a similar creamy texture with a slightly tangy flavor, making it a delicious alternative.

How do I know when the steak is cooked perfectly?

For medium-rare steak, aim for an internal temperature of 130-135°F. Use a meat thermometer to check, and remember to let the steak rest for a few minutes after cooking for optimal juiciness.
