For Central African coupé-coupé-style BBQ, meat is roasted over an open flame, then thinly sliced and served tucked into a slice of bread. The steak here is marinated with crushed Maggi cubes (common in Nigerian and Caribbean dishes), but you can use beef or chicken-flavored bouillon cubes instead. The steak and onions would taste delicious served with roasted yams and a simple green salad.

Ingredients

Cooking spray

4 spray(s)

Maggi bouillon cube(s)

4 cube(s), beef or chicken flavor (or similar product)

Worcestershire sauce

2 tsp

Table salt

1 tsp

Uncooked lean and trimmed beef flank steak

1½ pound(s), at room temperature

Uncooked onion(s)

Cook, turning once, until onions wilt slightly and char deeply in spots and steak is charred and cooked to desired doneness, 4 to 6 minutes. Transfer steak and onions to cutting board. Let steak rest for 15 minutes. Thinly slice steak against grain. Serve with onions.15 minutes. Thinly slice steak against grain. Serve with onions.
