I've made this a couple of times. It tastes really good. The marinade is excellent. It's easy to make. It's difficult to serve. Butterfliying it makes the marinade reach more of the beef, but makes for strange slicing. I also think it's overcooked. I will cook it less than the recipe calls for next time. I would say i'ts a 5, except for the slicing problem.
