  1. Delicioso! Every year we go to Mexico for vacation. Arrachera is one of our favorite meals, but until now I haven't been able to duplicate it at home. This recipe made a tender flank steak full of flavor! Next time I'd like to get the outside charred a bit more, but no matter what, this recipe is a keeper! Mucho gracias!
