At 8:00PM Saturday Night I’ve place all the above ingredients in a Pyrex dish, Duh I chose one that would fit the Steak. I then whisked all the ingredients together. I slightly diamond scored one side of the Flank Steak. Then coated both sides and placed the scored sided down into the dish. I dredged both sides twice and then scored the steak and placed the scored side down. It went into the refrigerator around 9:00PM Saturday, I will then BBQ this on a propane grill Sunday around 1:00 PM for our early dinner. Check back for the results. Hopefully I will not screw this up. I will then continue the Hanger Steak project when I can find one. I may have to buy one on-line for an exorbitant price.

Yes! Sunday is here!
I could hardly sleep. I started to prepare everything around 2:00 PM, Temperature outdoors is a cool 47° sun shining brightly... Perfect for a BBQ! Since it is just me and my wife I decided to cook only half of the Flank Steak as pictured below. I am barbecuing the left thicker side. The other thinner side I placed in a ziplock bag with the rest of the marinade and it’s going into the freezer for future use.
I’m going to serve this flank steak with a bake potato, steamed brocolli and grilled zucchini slices that have been drizzled with olive oil and then seasoned slightly with “Spike”, thats “Spike” not to be confused with “Spice” the legal street drug. As I stated earlier it’s just my wife and I so I usually use a portable propane grill. Heck it’s the only grill I have right now, ha! it’s about 4 years old and sits outside in the elements so that is why it looks the way it looks. But it works great. I grilled the steak on HIGH for about 8 minutes per side. I basted the steak a few times during it’s grilling. After turning it over the steak and about 2 to 3 minutes into grill that side I then placed the zucchini, seasoned/oiled side up and grilled for the remainder of the meat time. I purposely cooked the meat med. rare, rare.... Ok it was rare. But my wife does not like rare meat. but I believe it needs to be med. rare to rare for it to stay tender. I wanted it to be rare because I see fajitas in the very near future. Like Tomorrow!!!!! Anyways I trimmed some of the thinner more cooked areas of the steak for my wife! NOW FOR THE FIRST TASTE TEST!It was absolutely delicious and Tender, It was one of those “What about Bob” moments mmmmmm.....mmmmm...mmmmmm .....mmmm!!!! Everything turned out great! Oh and my wife loved it too! Oh one more thing! I complimented the meal with a fine Shiraz wine. That’s right it was $2.89 at Walmart. har! Really for an under $3 bottle of wine this is good for the price! Did I mention “HARD TIMES” these days...... huh....
