Twice-Marinated Steak Hoagies

Submitted by GeeWhiz

"This recipe both tenderizes and seasons the meat considerably. The steak is marinated overnight, uncooked, then quickly broiled. The rare, thinly sliced pieces are then marinated a second time, with olive oil, feta cheese, lemon juice, peppers and onions. Serve the savory slices of steak and vegetables on crusty rolls, with plenty of the feta marinade, or serve them as a salad, atop a bed of mixed greens. Prep time does not include marinating."

Can't believe no one has reviewed this - we've used this in the past and always had good results. For a long time we couldn't get the right cut of flank steak in Scotland but now have and tried this again, and it is really great.
