Ingredients
2 Lb Flank Steak1/4 c fresh lime juice2 lg cloves garlic4-6 tbsp fresh cilantro (good sized handful)1/2 tsp kosher salt1/4 tps fresh ground black pepper (coarse grind)good size dash hot pepper sauce (to taste)1/2 c Ro-tel Original Tomatoes and Chilies1 tsp red wine vinegar
Directions
Makes 8 4oz (pre-cooked wt) servings

Combine all ingredients except flank steak in a food processor and process until well blended. The seasonings can be adjusted according to your taste. If you like things very spicy, add lots of pepper sauce.

If cooking on a grill, leave the meat in one whole piece. If cooking in a skillet or grill pan on the stove, cut into 2 inch strips.

Place the meat in a zip-top bag; add the marinade and close it up, taking care to get as much air as possible out of the bag. For whole flank steak let marinate for at least an hour and up to 6; for strips let marinate for 30 min and up to 1 hr.

When ready to cook, remove meat from the bag. Whole flank steak should be cooked to an internal temp of 160F for medium. When done slice against the grain on the diagonal.

For strips, cook in skillet or grill pan with a spritz of non-stick cooking spray such as Pam.

Serve hot with grilled peppers, onions, tomatoes, tortillas and salsa (NOT part of nutrition analysis).

Leftover meat is great the next day on a big salad!
