Ingredients

  • 2 pounds beef flank steak
  • 1 (10 1/2-ounce) can French onion soup
  • 2 tablespoons red-wine vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 medium red onion, cut into 1/4-inch-thick slices

Directions

  • 1
    Place steak in casserole dish. Combine soup, vinegar, oil, garlic and black pepper in medium bowl. Pour half of soup mixture over steak, coating both sides. Cover and refrigerate the remaining soup mixture. Cover the steak and marinate in refrigerator for about 3 hours or overnight.

    Place onion slices on broiler pan. Broil until tender, about 2 minutes per side; remove from heat.

Grandma's Secret Trick

In warmer months, Grandma marinated the steak for Grandpa to grill outside. Whether grilling or broiling, she had some neat tricks: She thoroughly dried the marinated steak with paper towels before cooking it to ensure a nicely browned surface. When slicing the steak, Grandma positioned the knife at a 45-degree angle as she cut across the grain. This produced ample-looking slices to tuck into sandwich rolls.
