Yield: Makes 6 servings
2/3 cup mayonnaise
1 1/2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
1 tablespoon chopped fresh oregano
1 tablespoon chopped fresh basil
1 small garlic clove, pressed
6 4-inch-long baguette sections or one 1-pound loaf ciabatta, halved horizontally
2 ears of corn, husked
2 small red bell peppers, quartered lengthwise
1 large red onion, cut into 1/3-inch rounds
1 1/4 to 1 1/2 pounds skirt steak, cut crosswise into 6-inch pieces
Olive oil (for brushing)
Prepare barbecue (high heat). Whisk first 5 ingredients in medium bowl. Set aside. Pull out some of inside of bread, forming thick shells. Brush corn, peppers, onion, cut sides of bread, and steaks with olive oil. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Grill vegetables until charred and just tender and steaks until charred and cooked to medium-rare, about 15 minutes for corn, 8 to 10 minutes for peppers, and 5 to 8 minutes for onion, turning occasionally, and 3 minutes per side for steaks. Let steaks rest 5 minutes. Grill bread, cut side down, until charred, about 2 to 3 minutes.
Cut corn from cobs; add 1 cup to bowl with mayonnaise mixture and stir to coat. Season to taste with salt and pepper. (I used thawed frozen corn that I grilled in the skillet. I will try the fresh corn when it comes in season locally.)
Cut steaks diagonally against the grain into 1/3- to 1/2-inch-thick strips. Arrange steak slices, peppers, and onion over bottom halves of bread. Spoon corn mayonnaise over. Top with bread, pressing slightly to compact. (If using ciabatta, cut into 6 sandwiches.) only 377 calories!

Hi Debbie, You made one of my absolute favorites! Flank steak is so delicious and versatile! And this is a new twist flank steak. I'm going to try this. Bobby (dh) will love this one!
I would love to join CrockPot Wednesday, but I will be in Savannah on a girl's getaway. When I come home I'll be over to participate.
It was wonderful to visit today1

Found you through new friend Friday! Wanted to let you know that your link isn't working - I googled your blog.
Sandwich looks delicious! I will have to try it!
That is one gorgeous sandwich. Skirt steak is hard to find around here. I have to find a substitute, but I'm definitely going to try this sandwich. I hope your vacation was fabulous.
Oh it looks wonderful and the low calorie count is even better!
