Italian Beef Sandwich

Got the idea for this from another blogger: http://beyerbeware.blogspot.com/2010/12/hunk-of-meat-monday-italian-beef.html
I used Italian seasoning, dried onion, fennel seeds, and a can of beer. Cooked it in the slow cooker, added some Madeira. Then took it out, shredded it, reduced the liquid, and put it back in the cooker.
I made some whole grain sourdough rolls as well. I used unbleached AP flour, and Hungarian High Altitude flour.
yumm!

Roasted Potatoes

Potatoes, tossed in canola oil, seasoned with onion powder, red pepper/garlic seasoning, thyme, salt, pepper. Roasted at 400F until brown and crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.

Flank Steak

Touchstone Angus from Lusk, Wy.... mmmmmmmmmmm! Grass-fed, all natural.
I've got a flank steak marinating in balsamic vinegar, store brand steak sauce, you know, the kind with the number on it. Added a bit of oil, too. I'll pan sear, then maybe finish it in the oven, using a cast iron pan.
Potatoes are peeled and cut up, will toss with oil and seasonings... not sure what yet. I'll roast those in the oven.
Not sure what veggie to have with it. Something easy. We are playing Irish music tonight at a coffee shop, so will eat on the early side.

p.s. It was good! I like it well-done (I know...), and my husband likes it medium well. So, it turned out perfectly!
