Recipe out of Chris Lilly's new book. This is the second recipe I've tried out of the book and both were superb.

    Looks great. Havent tried a flank steak yet. Was it tender and if so any other cuts of meat you could compare it to?

    To me, it is most similar to tri tip - if it is not cooked and/or sliced right, it can be a tuff piece of beef. However, I think there is more flavor with the flank.

    Molly, a definite "must try it".

    $4.99 lb. at Costco.

    Growing up, my Dad would cook steak on his Hasty Bake grill, he would always cook himself and Mom a nice filet mignon or t-bone. For me and my three brothers we got to split a flank steak. I have always loved the taste of a flank steak.

    Looks delicious! Flank and Flat Irons are pretty expensive at my groceries (5.99-7.99#), so I've been using London Broils ($2.50#). They are a little thicker but cooked to rare, rested and cut across the grain, they are fantastic.
