Easy and tasty. I like to serve it with brown rice and sauteed spinach sprinkled with sesame seeds. For really good leftover steak for salad and sandwiches hold back about 1/2 cup of the marinade to use as sauce. Serve some with the steak and then pour the rest over the leftover meat and seal in a zip bag to keep it moist.
Asian-Marinated Flank Steak
The warmth of nutmeg helps round out the sweet, salty, and tangy Asian-inspired marinade. Try it with grass-fed flank steak, if available. Serve this dish with steamed sugar snap peas and rice or soba noodles.
Yield: 4 servings (serving size: 3 ounces steak and 1 tablespoon sauce)
