	Cook’s Tip: One pound boneless beef top sirloin steak, cut 3/4 inch thick, may be substituted for shoulder top blade (flat iron) steaks. Pan-broil 10 to 13 minutes for medium rare to medium doneness, turning once. Cook’s Tip: Four crusty French rolls (about 2-1/2 ounces each), split, may be substituted for ciabatta bread. Toast and fill as directed above. Cook’s Tip: Use the internet to easily locate ethnic or hard-to-find foods when specialty markets are not nearby as many ingredients may be available via mail order.

1 to 1-1/4 hours


		Ingredients:
2		beef shoulder top blade (flat iron) steaks (about 8 ounces each)
1		loaf (1 pound) ciabatta bread
1/4		cup shredded manchego cheese
1		tablespoon minced fresh cilantro
		Seasoning:

1		teaspoon brown sugar
1		teaspoon smoked paprika
1/4		teaspoon pepper
		Jus:

1		can (13-3/4 to 14-1/2 ounces) ready-to-serve beef broth
1		tablespoon brown sugar
1		tablespoon smoked paprika
1		teaspoon chipotle pepper sauce
		Onions:

1		tablespoon olive oil
1		medium Spanish onion, cut in half, thinly sliced (3 cups)
1		tablespoon brown sugar

		Instructions:
1.		Combine seasoning ingredients; press evenly onto beef steaks. Set aside.
2.		Combine jus ingredients in medium saucepan; bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer 15 to 18 minutes or until liquid is reduced to 1 cup.
3.		Meanwhile prepare onions. Heat oil in large nonstick skillet over medium heat until hot. Add onion; cook 5 to 7 minutes or until tender, stirring occasionally. Reduce heat; sprinkle with brown sugar; continue cooking about 10 minutes or until very tender and golden brown, stirring often. Remove from skillet; keep warm.
4.		Heat same large nonstick skillet over medium heat until hot. Place steaks in skillet; cook 13 to 15 minutes for medium rare to medium doneness, turning occasionally. Remove pan from heat; let stand 5 minutes.
5.		Preheat broiler. Cut bread loaf in half crosswise; cut each half crosswise in half forming quarters. Split each quarter horizontally in half. Place cut sides up on rimmed metal baking sheet so surface of bread is 3 to 4 inches from heat. Broil 30 seconds to 1 minute or until toasted and lightly browned.
