Ultimate Flank Steak Sandwich Recipe: Irresistibly Delicious and Hearty

Ingredients

• 1. A cut of tender beef flank steak, weighing about 1 ½ pounds,
• 2. A generous sprinkling of steak seasoning, like the flavorful Montreal Steak Seasoning®,
• 3. A drizzle of fragrant olive oil to enhance the taste,
• 4. A quarter cup of rich brown sugar to caramelize the dish,
• 5. Finely diced small onion for added depth of flavor,
• 6. Chopped small red bell pepper to bring a pop of color,
• 7. A splash of tangy apple cider vinegar for a hint of acidity,
• 8. A touch of savory Worcestershire sauce to round out the flavors,
• 9. Two cups of smooth tomato sauce for a luscious base,
• 10. Two tablespoons of concentrated tomato paste for an intensified taste,
• 11. Six hamburger buns, gently split and toasted to perfection.

Step 1

Enhance the flavor of the beef flank steak by generously dusting it with steak seasoning all over. In a skillet, warm olive oil until it glistens over medium heat. Gently lay the flank steak into the sizzling oil and sear it swiftly on both sides, achieving a beautiful brown color in approximately 5 minutes each side. Once done, delicately place the beef on a plate, allowing it to rest for a while.

Step 2

In the slow cooker, create a delectable sauce by blending brown sugar, diced onion, vibrant red bell pepper, tangy apple cider vinegar, savory Worcestershire sauce, luscious tomato sauce, and rich tomato paste until the brown sugar melts into the mixture. Submerge the seared flank steak in this flavorful concoction. Opt for a High setting for a 4-hour cook or a Low setting for an 8-hour slow simmer, infusing the meat with all the savory goodness.

Step 3

When ready to serve, use two forks to shred the succulent meat or take it out, finely chop it, and reintroduce it to the sauce for an added texture. Lightly toast the buns to perfection, ready to cradle the mouthwatering sloppied steak. Enjoy this scrumptious dish with a delightful contrast of textures and flavors.
