Folks have asked if I would post recipes on the blog. Ask and ye shall receive! Marinated flank steak is a summer fave for me and this is the best (and easiest) recipe. You and your guests will love it! The recipe is a modified version of a recipe from the late, great James Beard.
Flank Steak Marinade
Ingredients
1/2 cup of sherry or vermouth
1/2 cup of soy sauce
2 chopped cloves of garlic
1 teaspoon of ground ginger
Directions
Feel free to double the recipe depending on the size of the steak. Marinate the steak for 12 - 24 hours, turning it frequently. Grill or broil in the oven (for those city dwellers that don't have outdoor space for a grill) until your desired temperature. 5-7 minutes a side for medium rare. Let sit 10 minutes before carving on a diagonal.
Wondering What Wine to Serve?
Wine expert Dellie Rex was kind enough to suggest a few affordable French wines to enjoy with steak. Dellie lives in Boston and is the author of About Wine. (She is also my aunt!)

2007 Chateau Fabas Minervois - complex blend of Syrah and Grenache. $15
