Just wanted to sneak one more recipe to share with you just in time for Father’s day. We can never do enough for Dad on their special day because just like Mom’s they do all that they can do to give, help, protect and cherish their children, family and loved ones all the time.

I made these Ciabatta Flank Steak sandwiches for my hubby the other night, and he loved them, so that made me happy of course. They are easy to make, and very tasty, I think any Dad who loves steak, cheese, and a little spice will love this recipe.

Happy Father’s Day one more time to all you great amazing, hard-working, loving fathers out there, and let it be known that you are appreciated all the time.

Toast the ciabatta bread in the oven under a high broiler for 1-2 minutes till just lightly toasted, than remove from the oven, add a slice of steak, I fold mine nicely to fit the bun, top with some sautéed onions and mushrooms, add a few sliced red pepper, and 2 tbsp. of the cheese sauce, add pepper to taste if desired, my husband loves pepper, than serve.
