  1. This marinade was super and the steak was so tender. We halved the recipe, using only one flank steak, with no problems. We will be having this again soon. Thanks for posting.

What can I say about myself that hasn't already been mentioned in the police reports? Just kidding! I'm a single guy who loves to cook! Good thing, or I'd starve or go broke eating out! I love to read, horror and mysteries are my favorite. Love music, (except rap) and I'm a huge Green Bay Packer Fan!
