Spanish-Style Steak Sandwich

Flank steak is marinated in wine, orange juice and honey, then broiled and thinly sliced. It's combined with onion, green pepper and cheese, and served in a loaf of French bread, spread with a mayonnaise mixture.

Ingredients:

• 1, 1 1/2 pound flank steak
• 1/4 cup olive oil
• 1/4 cup red wine
• 1/4 cup fresh orange juice
• 1 tablespoon honey
• 2 tablespoons chopped shallots
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 cup mayonnaise
• 1/4 cup chopped parsley
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 1 clove garlic, minced
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 1 large onion, peeled, sliced very thin
• 2 teaspoons sugar
• 1 red bell pepper, stem and seeds removed, sliced very thin
• 1/2 teaspoon paprika
• 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1 large loaf of French bread
• 1 1/2 cups (6 oz) grated Manchego cheese (Monterey Jack may be substituted)

Directions:

1. Using sharp knife, make small, shallow cuts all over both sides of flank steak. In large plastic food storage bag, combine oil, red wine, orange juice, honey, shallots and garlic. Add flank steak; turn to coat. Refrigerate for 1 hour, turning occasionally. 2. In a small bowl combine mayonnaise, parsley, lemon juice and garlic. Refrigerate until ready to assemble. 3. In a large, nonstick skillet, heat butter over medium heat. Add onions and sugar and cook 15 to 20 minutes or until golden brown, stirring occasionally. Add bell peppers, paprika and oregano; cook and stir 5 minutes. Set aside. 4. Preheat broiler. Drain steak and discard marinade; place on greased broiler pan. Cook meat 4 inches from heat for 4 minutes per side (medium rare) or until desired doneness. Let meat sit 5 minutes; slice very thinly across the grain. 5. Keep broiler heated. Cut French bread in half horizontally; do not cut completely through. Place cut side up on baking sheet. Broil 1 to 2 minutes or until just lightly toasted. 6. Spread 1/4 cup of mayonnaise mixture on each side of bread. Add meat and Manchego cheese to skillet with onions and peppers; stir until just combined. Fill bread with mixture. Drizzle with remaining mayonnaise, cut into desired portions and serve.
