Worthy of a Special Occasion

Grilled flank steak with oranges and blue cheese combine in a sandwich that will make you the envy of coworkers when you open your lunch box. For the best results, use crusty rolls because they stay pleasantly crisp.

Yield: 4 servings (serving size: 1 sandwich)

Ingredients

  • 2  tablespoons  cider vinegar
  • 1 1/2  teaspoons  extravirgin olive oil
  • 1/2  teaspoon  grated orange rind
  • 1/8  teaspoon  salt
  • 1/8  teaspoon  freshly ground black pepper
  • 1  cup  fresh orange sections (about 2 oranges)
  • 4  (2-ounce) Italian or French rolls
  • 2  cups  thinly sliced Basic Grilled Flank Steak (about 8 ounces)
  • 1  cup  bagged prewashed baby spinach
  • 1/4  cup  (1 ounce) crumbled Gorgonzola or other blue cheese

Preparation

Combine first 5 ingredients, stirring with a whisk.

Pat orange sections dry with a paper towel. Slice each roll in half. Layer bottom of each roll with 1/2 cup Basic Grilled Flank Steak, 1/4 cup baby spinach, 1 tablespoon cheese, and 1/4 cup orange sections. Drizzle each serving with about 2 teaspoons vinaigrette; top with top halves of rolls. Wrap in aluminum foil or wax paper; chill.

This was good, but I think it lacked flavor, and with all the other recipes to try, I don't think I will add this to my 'Absolute Fav Cookbook'06/04/09

Very tasty sandwich for a weeknight dinner. All the flavors were good together. I did use canned mandarin oranges in place of the fresh sections, multigrain sub rolls, & romaine lettuce (on hand) instead of spinach, but that would go really well, too. My husband really liked this sandwich, & my boys did too, just without the blue cheese.05/18/09
