Delicious and the marinade is so easy to prepare and gives the steak a wonderful flavor. This was one of the most tender flank steak's we've had in a very long time. Thanks Derf for sharing this keeper.

Fantastic, Flank steak. DH loved it. We like the rosemary flavor and the merlot wine. It sure made a nice sauce for the steak. Easy to make. Served it with a Green Salad and a baked potato. Thank you Derf for the recipe , IT IS A KEEPER.

Oh my gosh, this is absolutely wonderful. You must make the sauce that goes with this flank steak. I added a little cornstarch to make the sauce a little thicker.
