Tangy Flank Steak Sandwiches
"This recipe is from Sunset magazine, probably back in the 80's. My mom used to make it for us for Father's Day every year. DH and I now make it, but we don't make sandwiches. We do double the sauce to pour over the meat on our plates. Instead of making sandwiches, we dip french bread in the extra sauce. It tastes great leftover too."

This was a fabulous marinade, and something totally different than I usually make! I doubled the sauce ingredients and added 1/2 tsp of garlic salt. I sliced the steak and piled on top of slices of french bread, then topped with the extra sauce. My DH absolutely loved this recipe and I can assure you we will be making this again! Thanks for posting!
