Scrolling through Pinterest and my heart fluttered at the sight of this grilled marinated flank steak . . .
It's delicious, easy, juicy and tender.
The recipe originated in the May 14 issue of Martha Stewart Living and was then adapted by Anne-Marie (the creator behind This Mama Cooks).
Anne-Marie's recipe was pretty much perfect -- all I did was add a little shaved parmesan over the arugula. (I feel obligated to throw on parmesan from time to time!) It was a nice addition.
We've cooked this steak two ways -- stovetop on a cast-iron grill and also outside on our gas grill. Both methods worked really well.
The cast-iron method was a little more "dramatic" with all the smoke in my kitchen.
But aren't those gorgeous grill marks totally worth it?
This steak goes really well with our Cucumber, Orzo, Feta Cheese Salad.
Enjoy!
