Comments
This recipe is from Sandra Lee of FoodTV fame.  I’ve been making it for the past year on a griddle on the stovetop and looking forward to finally getting to do it on the grill outside so it wouldn’t smoke up the house!  I wasn’t disappointed at all.  The grill did a great job of cooking the steak and it turned out lovely.  One of the things I like about flank steak is that the thickness varies the length of the cut so it suits everyone’s desires for doneness.
