Alberta Flank Steak

Submitted by Cynna

""There are thousands of great, elaborate recipes for Alberta beef," said John Korobanik, food editor of the Edmonton Journal. "But often the tastiest result comes from keeping it simple." He recommended we picnic on his mother-in-law's recipe, "deliciously simple but well worth the lack of effort. It takes the best of Alberta beef and turns it into a mouth-watering reward." With the "reward," as John put it, be sure to serve horseradish, to add to slices of the meat on a bun or on a plate with other foods. Taken from joycesfinecooking.com Posted for ZWT II '06"

Great recipe. Unusual for me but very tasy. I used 1 clove of garlic, 1 Tablespoon ground ginger and I also reduced the olive oil. I had as a side dish Roast Potatoes and peppers#173572 so I must say that my dinner was Canadian. Thanks Cynna for posting. Its a keeper!
