Tangy Flank Steak Sandwiches image

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.

1/3 cup lemon juice

  • Remove meat to BBQ but save the marinade.
  • BBQ meat until done to your liking. (allow about 5 - 7 minutes each side for medium rare).
