Pepper-Crusted Flank Steak

Submitted by ElizabethKnicely

"You can make this steak on a grill, weather permitting. Preheat your grill (or a grill pan on the stove) to medium-high heat. Oil the grill just before adding the meat. Cook the steak for 4 to 5 minutes per side for medium-rare. To test, remove the meat from the grill and touch it with your finger. A medium-rare steak will feel firm and will snap right back."
