Expert Tips That I Recommend 

• Simmer the balsamic vinegar until it reduces by half. Avoid boiling it too much, as it can make the sauce bitter.
• Cook the sauce in layers: first cook the onion and garlic, then add the ketchup and water. This will add depth to the dish.
• After you prepare the sauce, let it cool a bit. Cooling it is important because hot sauce can build up pressure in the mixer.
• Pat the steaks dry before seasoning so they crisp up and brown well.
• Always preheat the grill before adding steaks. This helps cook the steaks evenly.

Recipe Variation for Different Diets 

• Keto Version: Make sure the sauce and seasoning are sugar-free. Instead of honey, add molasses or use monk fruit sweetener. Swap French baguettes for keto bread.
• Gluten-Free: Check whether sauces are gluten-free. Replace baguettes with gluten-free bread.

Storing And Reheating This Recipe 

Storing

• Let the steak cool completely, then wrap it in plastic wrap. Store it in the refrigerator to keep it fresh for up to 3 days.
• You can also freeze it longer by adding the grill sticks, freezer, and a safe bag. It will stay fresh for 2 to 3 months, and you can enjoy it whenever you want.

Reheating

• Stovetop: Take a skillet, then add the steak and some broth. Reheat over medium-high heat for 2-3 minutes per side. Turn it over halfway through to heat evenly.

• Air Fryer: Reheat the steak at 160°C for 3-5 minutes. Avoid high heat, as it can dry it out and burn the barbecue sauce.

What To Serve With This Recipe

You can enjoy the Bobby Glay Flank Steak with roasted sprouts or steamed vegetables for a healthier, yummy meal. You can also serve it with a simple green salad or Brussels sprouts salad to keep it classic and simple. I like to enjoy it by slicing the steak and adding it to the bun, then drizzling sauce all over to make it a budget-friendly snack.

Method

• Make the sauce: Pour the balsamic vinegar into a small saucepan and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Cook for 15–20 minutes, until reduced by half. Set aside.
• Heat 1 tablespoon of canola oil in a medium, heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the onion and sauté for 3–4 minutes until softened. Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute.
• Stir in the ketchup and water, bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for 5 minutes. Add the reduced balsamic vinegar, chile powder, paprika, mustard, red wine vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, chipotle, brown sugar, honey, and molasses.
• Simmer for another 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens. Blend until smooth using an immersion blender or regular blender. Season with salt and pepper, transfer to a bowl, and let cool to room temperature.
• Grill the steak: Bring the steak to room temperature for about 30 minutes. Preheat the grill to high heat. Brush the steak with the remaining canola oil and season generously with salt and pepper.
• Grill over direct heat for about 3 minutes per side, until browned. Move the steak to a cooler section of the grill and brush generously with the sauce. Continue grilling, turning and basting several times, until cooked to medium-rare, about 5 minutes more.
• Transfer the steak to a cutting board, loosely cover with foil, and let it rest for 10 minutes.
• Make the cheesy bread: Brush both sides of the bread with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Grill until lightly toasted on both sides.
• Top each piece with grated Monterey Jack cheese. Place the bread on foil and return it to the grill until the cheese melts. Transfer to a serving platter.
• Assemble: Thinly slice the rested steak against the grain and arrange it over the cheesy bread. Garnish with sliced scallions and serve immediately.
