Ingredients

　　One 1-pound flank steak

　　1 teaspoon garlic powder (or to taste)

　　1/2 teaspoon salt (or to taste)

　　1 cup olive oil plus additional for brushing buns

　　6 whole-wheat hamburger buns

　　Put the steak into a 9-by-13-inch glass baking dish and sprinkle with garlic powder and salt on both sides. Add the oil, cover, and marinate at room temperature for up to 2 hours or in the refrigerator overnight, turning the steak at least once. Preheat a broiler or set up a grill. Remove the steak from the marinade and broil or grill for 4 minutes a side for medium doneness. Brush the inside of the buns lightly with oil, place brushed-side facing the heat source, and toast in the broiler or on the grill. Remove the steak to a cutting board, and thinly slice on the diagonal. Pile several thin slices on each bun. Cut the sandwiches in half, and serve three halves per person.

　　Cooks' Note

　　Flank steak is very lean, but benefits from marinating since it is somewhat fibrous. It is best cooked to no more than a medium doneness and sliced across the grain in thin diagonal slices. Serve with pinto or black beans (see pages 240 and 221) and a green salad.
