I think, most days, we take for granted that we have such a gorgeous balcony and the opportunity to grill. Unfortunately, my in-laws are not as lucky and frequently long for the smoky taste of grilled meat. A few weeks back my mother-in-law bought a generous piece of flank steak and threw it in the freezer. Her idea was to grill it in her grill pan, hoping that it would come close to the taste of a beautifully grilled steak. After a few weeks, she realized that the only way to enjoy the flank steak would be to get someone else to grill it for her. That's where I step in.
I marinated the hefty piece of meat the day before hoping that the marinade would tenderize the meat. Flank steak is known for being tough if not cooked correctly and I was worried that I would ruin the lunch we had planned. There's nothing worse then chewing (and chewing) on overcooked, tough beef. I'm happy to say that the lunch was a success, and the meat was as tender and flavourful as I had hoped. Flank steak will definitely be put on our list of grilled meats for the summer months...and this marinade certainly passes the test.
