Ingredients

Directions

Place flank steak in a ziplock bag with Red Wine-Vinegar salad dressing and marinade for several hours.

Fry bacon over medium heat. Once fully cooked, remove the bacon and set in a mixing bowl. Drain bacon grease reserving 1-2 tablespoons in frying pan. Add chopped garlic to the hot bacon fat; when it starts to brown, add the beer and, with a wooden spoon, gently scrape the bacon particles from the bottom of the pan. Add the spinach and wilt it for about 15-20 seconds, then scrape the entire contents of the pan into the mixing bowl with the bacon. Add Blue cheese, Ritz Cracker crumbs, sun-dried tomato and green onion. Mix thoroughly.

Remove meat from refrigerator and place on grill over medium high heat. Disgard marinade and season the steak liberally with Montreal Steak Seasoning. Grill steak approximate 5-6 minute per side. Remove from heat and allow meat to rest for no less than 5 minutes. Place the grilled steak on a cutting board and cut into thin slices on a bias, making sure to cut across the grain of the meat (with a flank steak the grain runs lengthwise....)

Stack a liberal amount of steak on a toasted Kaiser roll and top liberally with the bleu cheese mixture.
