• 12 slices french bread (thick cut, we buy whole loaves and slice, on the diaganol, into 3/4-inch slices)

Recipe

• 1 combine beer, oil, garlic powder, salt and pepper. place flank steak in marinade. (a gallon ziploc bag works great). refridgerate overnight, turning occassionally.
• 2 in a skillet, melt butter; add paprika and a dash of salt, then add onions and saute until tender. in a small saucepan, mix sour cream and horseradish and heat on low until sour cream is warm.
• 3 drain steak and barbeque (or broil) 5 - 7 minutes per side for medium rare. cover and let rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
• 4 toast french bread slightly. (i toast them under the broiler with door slightly open , but you have to watch carefully. don't think you can do anything else, or you'll forget about them and have burned toast!).
• 5 slice meat very thin across the grain, and on an angle. pile meat on toast, cover with onions, some sour cream and a sprinkle of paprika, then top sandwich with other toast.
