A twist on a classic childhood lunch :)

I have to thank my friend Marvin for the inspiration behind this sandwich. Before I went to bed last night I checked my facebook and saw that Marvin made a status about his craving for grilled cheese. I immediately wanted a grilled cheese. I had already taken out some flank steak to defrost for dinner tonight so I knew making grilled cheese for dinner tonight was not an option: or was it? :) I decided to combine the flank steak and a grilled cheese.

Flank steak, onion and pepper grilled cheese
2 sandwiches

1/2 pound of flank steak
1 teaspoon of freshly ground black pepper
1/4 teaspoon of crushed red pepper flakes
1/2 teaspoon adobo seasoning
2 gloves minced garlic
1 teaspoon of garlic salt
4 slices of your favorite bread (I used honey wheat because it is all Sarah and I had on hand but I recommend using rye bread)
2 slices of colby jack cheese
1/4 cup of shredded cheddar cheese
mayo (as much as you like to put on your sandwiches)
1 cup of chopped onions
1/4 cup of chopped red pepper
1 large potato
2 tablespoons of canola oil
2 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil

1. Marinate the chopped onions and chopped red pepper with 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper, 1 teaspoon of garlic salt and 2 tablespoons of canola oil- set aside for about 5-7 minutes
2. Marinate the flank steak with the minced garlic, the remainder of the black pepper, adobo, crushed red pepper flakes and olive oil.- set aside for a few minutes
3. Cut the potato into steak fries (a little thicker than regular fries)
4. Put the flank steak on the grill on high heat for about 4-5 minutes on each side (medium, but you can cook it a little longer on each side if you want it cooked more)
5. While the steak is cooking on the grill saute the onions and red pepper on medium heat until both have softened (about 10 minutes) make sure you stir them so they do not burn.
6. Spread the mayo on the 4 slices of bread and place a piece of colby jack cheese on 2 of the slices.
7. Once the onions and peppers have finished cooking scoop them evenly on top of the pieces of bread that have cheese on them.
8. When the flank steak has finished cooking slice it into strips and place the strips on top of the onions and peppers.
9. Sprinkle the shredded cheese on top of the steak and close the sandwich with the other piece of bread.
10. In a warm skillet, add a teaspoon of margarine and let it melt. Once it has melted put a sandwich in the skillet to grill (like a grilled cheese) for about 1-2 minutes on each side.

Fries:
Heat up some oil in a skillet on medium heat. Put the fries in the oil and fry just like you would regular french fries. Once they're done season them however you like. I just added a littttttllleeee salt and pepper.

I ate half of my sandwich and I was full... but I decided that it was too good to not eat the rest of it. Needless to say.. I'm stuffed. Let me know what you think if you decide to try making it! :)

Happy eating!
