Introduction: Red Wine Marinated Flank Steak
Flank steak is a fairly inexpensive cut of meat but isn't super tender. The key to taking advantage of this flavorful beef is to let it marinate for a long time. For this recipe, we use a lot of delicious ingredients: wine, Worcestershire, garlic, dried peppers and rosemary. Make sure you cut this against the grain to serve.
