Recipe #2 - Grilled Flank Steak with Mushrooms and Onions

Happy Monday! After an awesome weekend (for me anyways), it's back to the grind. Tonight's dish is perfect for those hot summer nights when you want to grill out, but you don't want to spend hours slaving over the hot fire. So grab your Corona and let's go! 


To prepare, you will need the following (yields six 3.5 oz. servings): 


3 TBSP red wine vinegar
1 TBSP olive oil
2 TSP dried oregano 
2 TSP minced garlic (or more if you like it heavy like me!)
Freshly ground black pepper (to your liking)
1.5 pounds of lean flank steak 
Table salt 
1 large red onion, cut into 1/2 inch slices
1 package of white mushrooms (whole) 
Cooking spray 


Start by combining 3 TBSP red wine vinegar, 1 TBSP olive oil, 2 TSP dried oregano, 2 TSP minced garlic and freshly ground black pepper in a shallow glass dish or sealable food storage bag. Cut steak into 3.5 oz portions (I weigh them out on a food scale). Add to marinade, seal and marinate in refrigerator for at least 30 minutes. 

Slice onion into 1/2 inch slices. Combine mushrooms and onion and spray with cooking spray. I like to sprinkle mine with a little salt and pepper as well. 

Heat outdoor grill. Once steak has marinated, put steak on the grill, along with mushrooms and onions. Let steak cook for 10-15 minutes (to your liking - I like mine medium). The vegetables will brown and you can then remove them at this time.

Once cooked, remove from grill and serve! You can serve alone or with a healthy side dish (asparagus, salad, broccoli, etc.) Bon appetit!
