Now I need to preface. I've married the perfect man for me. He is a foodie but he is not a picky eater. He loves to experiment and his only restrictions/request are NO PEAS and NO BEETS. I can work within that limitation. When ever I've asked him about what he may want for dinner I'm met with...."whatever you feel like cooking."
Then there is tonight's ride home from work...
Husband: I think you are out of wine.
Self: Can we stop at Marios Market...I'm thinking Flank Steak. I can pick up wine there.
Husband: Flank Steak is perfect. I'm thinking Easter Europe Mediterranean marinade! Make it happen!
For just a brief moment I'm stunned. Actually, speechless. Next, elated! He has given me a suggestion and I'm running with it! I have NO Earthly Idea what is Mediterranean Eastern Europe Flank Steak but I'm going to figure it out. (And he HAD to know I was going to be all over this challenge)
After a bit of googling...here is the ingredient results:
INGREDIENTS
4 rosemary sprigs
1 teaspoon salt
pepper
5 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1/4 cup red-wine
1/8 cup cider vinegar
1 teaspoon Xylitol
DIRECTIONS
Smash garlic with
the leaves of the rosemary sprigs, salt, and plenty of pepper. Mix in oil,
red-wine, vinegar, and xylitol.
Marinate steak in
a resealable bag, refrigerated, for 4 to 24 hours. Flip the bag occasionally.
We have since tried this Flank steak recipe twice. The first time the meat was only marinated for about two hours. The second time the marinade was allowed to sit for 24 hours. Both times the meat was FABULOUS! Give it a go!
