Barbecued Flank Steak-Under 20 Minutes
January 16, 2009
I developed this recipe for the most recent January/February 2009 issue of Cooking Light magazine. I love using flank steak because it’s not too expensive, a great family meal and it’s very versatile. Living in Birmingham, Alabama, I am lucky to have so many great local barbecue sauces to choose from, but whichever brand you choose, this recipe will come out great. It’s so simple, with just 7 ingredients, and it can be done in less than 20 minutes. Serve with your favorite sides for a delicious weeknight or weekend meal.
