Ever since JP and I got together, steak has been our go to date-night-in meal. He tackles the grill while I work on the side dishes. Usually we opt for big, marbled rib eyes, but during “Snowpocalypse,” JP picked up some flank steak. I grew up eating flank steak and always have found it kind of blah. It’s such a lean cut of meat that it can be overcooked really easily and more often than not, it ends up tough. Grilling it hot and fast is usually your best bet. I doctored this marinade from a Rachael Ray recipe and it turned out fabulous. Tender, juicy and full-oh-flavah.
