Flavorful Flank Steak

By: Janice Montiverdi 
"'This is a variation of an old Southern recipe with a Texas twist,' relates Janice Montiverdi, Sugar Land, Texas. 'I've been making it at least once a month for the last 15 years. The overnight marinade gives the beef a wonderful taste.'"

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup soy sauce
