Sigh, flank steak used to be a cheap piece of meat. Then “fajitas” came along and it all went to hell. Good flank steak can now cost as much as $6 a pound. When it’s on sale though, it’s worth buying for the grill.<\/p>\n

As with most red meat, a simple marinade, if anything at all, is all that is really needed. The following has worked quite well for me.<\/p>\n

\u00bd cup – olive oil
\n 1 cup – red wine
\n \u00bc cup – balsamic vinegar
\n 1 tbsp – fresh ground black pepper
\n 1 tbsp – granulated garlic
\n 1 tbsp – dried herbs
\n 2 tsp – dried mustard<\/p>\n

Mix all of the above ingredients in a bowl or in a 1 gallon plastic zip lock bag. Add the meat and marinate for several hours. <\/p>\n

Grill over hot coals, 8 minutes per side, seasoning with salt on both sides. Let stand for a few minutes and then carve across the grain in thin slices. <\/p>\n

Serve with Oven Roasted Yukon Gold Potatoes<\/a> and the veggie of your choice. This is Zinfandel food folks.<\/p>\n
