FOOD

I like food. A lot. I like to cook it, eat it, talk about it, read about it, think about it. These recipes correspond with my Twitter account.

Balsamic and Herb Flank Steak

Mix together the following in a large plastic zip-top bag:
1/2 cup balsamic vinegar
3/4 cup olive oil
2 tbsp chopped fresh rosemary
2 tbsp chopped fresh mint
4 cloves garlic, minced

Add a 1 - 1 1/2 pound flank steak to the marinade. Refrigerate, massaging and turning occasionally, 8 hours.

Preheat a large non-stick pan over medium high heat. Remove steak from marinade, and sprinkle both sides with salt and pepper. Cook for 6 - 7 minutes on each side for medium rare. Let steak rest for 5 minutes after cooking. Cut against the grain into thin slices.


Notes: This is a modified Bobby Flay recipe. Bobby wants you to grill the steak, which is all well and good, but it's been raining here for like a million days so that was a no go. I also added the mint, which was not in the original recipe. My mint plant has been growing like crazy, and I really needed to use some of it. J said the steak pieces were good in the green salad with tomatoes and honey mustard dressing, but I didn't try that myself. I served this with the salad and some oven-roasted potatoes.
