Tonight I’m firing up the grill in the kitchen patio garden to cook up this Chile-Lime Flank Steak recipe.  It’s wonderful to finish the day with my family enjoying a good meal while sharing what we did during the day. Growing my own limes in Ohio since 2009 and a new harvest of cilantro will make this meal one the family will remember.

It All Starts with Easy Marinating

Below is a fun way to make street tacos using your spices.  Flank steak is usually a cheaper cut of meat and can be marinated to taste like a million bucks!  Seriously -marinating is the secret to creating a moist and tender flank steak. Soak in some homemade marinade will make almost anything you grill a win-win!  I enjoy marinating portobellos, chicken, tuna steaks, and of course beef. Almost anything can benefit from the infusion of flavor the process of marinating will create. Making a marinade from scratch is fun and easy and I share the recipe below. Start with olive oil and garlic, choose an acidic liquid and fresh herb.  Trust me – this will be a hit! Be sure to comment at the bottom of this post to let me know what you think of the recipe.
