This is my first Cooking Light recipe. We really liked the combination of citrus, meat, and cheese. Will definitely make again.
Beef, Orange, and Gorgonzola Sandwiches
Grilled flank steak with oranges and blue cheese combine in a sandwich that will make you the envy of coworkers when you open your lunch box. For the best results, use crusty rolls because they stay pleasantly crisp.
Yield: 4 servings (serving size: 1 sandwich)
