This marinade packed a huge punch of flavor. I marinated about six hours and cooked to medium rare and it came out wonderfully -- tender and lovely flavor. I would say that it wasn't very "peppery" given the title and came out with a stronger soy flavor than anticipated, so I'll increase pepper next time (maybe some crushed peppercorns) and reduce the soy. Ingredient notes: I omitted the green onion and celery salt (didn't have any on hand!) but added 1/2 teaspoon of garlic salt along with a sliced garlic clove to ease out some additional flavor. Great recipe to bring out some flavor in the basic flank steak!

Didn't have celery salt so used some garlic powder & sea salt instead. Also used more garlic, just because we love garlic. So flavorful in fajitas.

Great balance of flavors. We will keep making this, added just a touch of garlic. Definitely a keeper

Pretty darn good. Need about 5min per side at least on my grill in the winter to get to medium rarish.

This is a very good recipe. I followed the proportions of the steak marinade as instructed and it turned out very tasty. It had an excellent 'peppery' bite to it. If you like your marinade a bit spicy, may I suggest the addition of a small amount of hot chili powder to the mix to intensify the 'peppery' taste of the marinade. That being said, the marinade is fine as it is. Since I like my steak medium to well done, I broiled each side of the steak for 5 minutes each before broiling the first side once again for an additional 3 minutes. I will definitely make this recipe again.

My family and I enjoyed this recipe very much only made very minor changes to it. Unfortunately,I rated it a 4 is because the meat that I used had parts in it that was very hard to chew but other than that it was very delicious.
