We are rushing to get the house cleaned and ready for Pete and Jenny, my brother-in-law and his girlfriend. We can't wait to have them to ourselves for a whole week!! We're heading out on an overnight raft trip down the Colorado this weekend so between cleaning the house and tearing apart the closets to prepare for the trip we had an interesting night of "cleaning". Thankfully I had taken a flank steak out of the freezer to thaw so dinner was a cinch and really tasty. At 8:30 we sat down to a juicy steak with a side of couscous and crisp sugar snap peas sauteed with a dash of sesame oil and of course a bottle of wine! Over dinner we made our grocery list and dinner menu for the week. I hoping to make the following- Lasagna, Black bean & Sweet Potato Burritos, Orange Tofu Stir-fry, Baked Chili Rellenos, Pizza, Pumpkin Ravioli, Sushi and Artichoke Linguine. Its going to be a busy week and I probably won't get to posting any of these until after they leave but I'm looking forward to the week ahead!
Spice-rubbed Flank Steak
flank steak trimmed
3 T brown sugar
2 t ground cumin
2 t ground oregano
2 t garlic powder
1 t salt
1/2 t ground allspice
3 T evoo
Mix sugar, spices and evoo and brush on both sides of steak. Let stand for at least 20 minutes. Grill to desired temperature. Since it has sugar in it make sure you keep your grill low so it doesn't burn; you will get a nice dark color. We grilled for 4 minutes per side. Let stand for 5 minutes before cutting into it. Cut steak diagonally across grain into thin slices. I found this recipe on Cooking Light- Southern Living.
