Fajita-Style Flank Steak
Tex-Mex Southwestern Beef
Ingredients:
1 (1 1/2 pound) beef flank steak
1/4 cup bottled Italian salad dressing
1/4 cup salsa
1/2 teaspoon finely shredded lime peel
1 tablespoon lime juice
1 tablespoon snipped fresh cilantro or parsley
1/8 teaspoon bottled hot pepper sauce
Methods:
1. Trim fat from steak. Place steak in a self-sealing plastic bag in a shallow dish.
2. For marinade, in a small bowl, stir together Italian salad dressing, salsa, lime peel, lime juice, cilantro or parsley, and hot pepper sauce. Pour over steak; seal bag. Marinate meat in the refrigerator for 8 to 24 hours, turning the bag occasionally. Drain steak, reserving marinade.
3. Place steak on the unheated rack of a broiler pan. Broil 3 to 4 minutes from heat until desired doneness, turning once and brushing occasionally with marinade up to the last 5 minutes of broiling. (Allow 12 to 14 minutes for medium doneness.)
4. Pour any remaining marinade into a small saucepan; bring to boiling. Boil 1 minute. Thinly slice steak across the grain. Serve the steak with hot marinade.
