Grilled Marinated Flat Iron Steak Sandwich w/ Baked Crinkle Fries

Dinner Tonight: Grilled Marinated Flat Iron Steak Sandwich w/ Baked Crinkle Fries

I've been getting some great recipe ideas lately from the various cooking shows on TV. The one I prepared tonight is based on a recipe that I just seen yesterday on one of Paula Deen's shows, Grilled Marinated Flat Iron Steak Sandwich and also a side of  Baked Crinkle Fries.


I used a Flat Iron Steak that I had purchased from Kroger. I marinated my Steak overnight. The marinade consisted of; 3/4 cup Reduced Sodium Soy Sauce,  1/4 cup Extra Virgin Olive Oil, 3 tablespoons Worcestershire Sauce, 2 tablespoons fresh Lemon Juice, 3 cloves Garlic, minced, 2 teaspoons Ground Black Pepper. I then mixed everything in a small bowl and got a gallon size Hefty Zip Lock Plastic Bag and placed my Steak in it and added the marinade. I let it marinate from about midnight last night till I prepared for dinner tonight. To prepare the Steak I drained the steak, discarding the marinade. Placed the steak  in a large skillet that I had sprayed with Pam and Canola Oil. I pan fried it on medium heat about 4 to 5 minutes on each side, medium rare to rare in the very center. Letting it stand for 10 minutes before slicing. the Steak came out perfect with a fantastic flavor from the marinade. I sliced thin and against the grain. I served it on a Aunt Millie's Light Whole Grain Bun. I topped it with Arugula and a Bacon Horseradish Sauce that I also prepared.


To prepare Bacon Horseradish Sauce I mixed the following ingredients; 2 teaspoons minced Green Onion, 1 cup Hellman's Reduced Fat Mayonnaise, 6 slices Turkey Bacon, cooked and crumbled, 2 teaspoons Prepared Horseradish, 1/4 teaspoon Lemon Zest, and 1/2 teaspoon fresh Lemon Juice, cover and chill until needed. I also had a side of Ore Ida Crinkle Fries that I baked. For dessert later I baked some fresh Mini Loaves of Pillsbury Nut Quick Bread. I had a slice of the Nut Bread topped with a scoop of Breyer's Carb Smart Vanilla Ice Cream.
