Ingredients

Steak marinade
  • ¼ cup vegetable oil
  • 2 tbsp each of lemon juice, soy sauce and Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
  • 1 tbsp brown sugar
  • 2 garlic cloves, finely grated
  • salt and black pepper
  • 500 g flank steak
Herb and garlic butter
  • 80 g unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 tsp finely minced garlic
  • 1 tsp each finely chopped chives, thyme and parsley or 3 tsp other fresh herbs
  • 1 tsp salt
To serve
  • 1 large onion, thickly sliced
  • vegetable oil, for brushing
  • 1 large ciabatta loaf, halved
  • 150 g sliced mild provolone cheese
  • 2 large handfuls baby rocket or other leaves
Marinating time: 4-8 hours

Instructions

  1. For the steak, put the oil, lemon juice, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, mustard, brown sugar and garlic in a small bowl, season with salt and pepper and whisk to combine. Place steak in a large resealable bag and pour in marinade. Seal the bag, removing as much air as possible. Place in refrigerator and let steak marinate for at least 4 hours, and up to 8 hours.
  2. For the herb garlic butter, combine the butter, garlic and herbs in a small bowl. Mash with a fork to combine, season with salt and pepper.
  3. When ready to cook, preheat a chargrill pan or barbecue on medium-high heat. Brush the sliced onion with oil and place on grill along with the flank steak.
  4. Cook the onion for 5 minutes each side, or until softened and well charred. Cook the steak for 3-5 minutes per side, or until cooked to your liking. Allow the steak to rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
  5. Spread both sides of the bread with the herb garlic butter and grill, cut side down for 1-2 minutes, or until lightly browned. Transfer to a serving plate and top with the steak slices, onion and cheese. Return the topped bread to the grill or barbecue and cover for 1 minute, or until the cheese has melted.
  6. To serve, top with rocket leaves and top slice of the bread.
