I’ve got a recipe for the carnivores today. It’s BEEFY!!!!

The youngest members in my family tend to go through unpredictable mood swings when it comes to food and they are constantly changing their minds in ways that make no sense whatsoever.

My little brother has this thing about cheese that I think I’ve finally started to understand, despite the fact that he doesn’t know how to explain it. At least, I’ve learned my way around it and I can usually get him to eat things containing cheese without him knowing it. Basically he just doesn’t like to know he’s eating cheese. What’s really annoying is that he’ll claim to hate cheese but his favorite food is cheese pizza. I’m pretty sure he’s planning to make a profession out of arguing someday because it’s something he practices a lot. Ugh, that kid sometimes…..

I don’t know what I’m going to do when I have my own kids, but of course, my kids won’t have picky issues (Uh huh, yeah right. Haha, I’ll just keep telling myself this).

Unfortunately, I’m not exactly a meat expert, so it’s all trial and error for me. When I went shopping for some steaks recently they didn’t have the same cuts that I'd like to use for something like this so I got a different one. When I cooked one it ended up being like trying to chew through leather.

That gets me to why and how I ended up with a bunch of raw steaks that needed some serious help to be usable. I decided to put them in a marinade that I’ve been wanting to try for the longest time involving, that’s right, some good old joe! Even with the meat as tough as it was to begin with, it actually saved the day and made it somewhere close to tender. I can only imagine what it would have been like if I had started with a better cut of meat. I’m putting flank steak in the recipe because that is what I would have been using if I had found it.

These sandwiches were a big hit to say the least. I put them on freshly baked homemade sourdough buns and added plenty of cheese, which I even got my brother (mr. I-hate-cheese) to eat. Oh, and I bartered the hand modeling services of my brother-in-law @rigaronib again, since he did so good last time, for one of the sandwiches. He’ll be signing autographs next Thursday if you’re interested (ha, not really).

And It’s almost all marinating time that makes this recipe a bit longer than some. The hands-on time in this recipe is only about 25 minutes total and you can do it almost all ahead of time if you want. That way you can have a ready lunch or dinner for a lazy midweek meal. Happy dipping!
