FLANK STEAK serves about 4 from memory... 1 - 1 1/2 lb flank steak for the marinade: 3-4 slices fresh ginger root, 1/8" thick, minced 3-4 cloves garlic, minced or pressed some red wine vinegar some soy sauce some olive oil (maybe 1/4 to 1/2 cup of each?) Mix the marinade in a bowl. Trim any fat from the edges of the steak, and then put it into a heavy ziplock bag. Pour the marinade over the steak, and seal the bag. Marinate overnight in the refridgerator. Prepare a very hot grill. Grill the steak about 1-2 minutes on a side. This will cook very fast, and if you overcook it, throw it away -- it is ruined! Well, maybe I'm being extreme, but do be careful to keep it rare. Remove the steak from the grill, and cover for another 5-10 minutes under aluminum foil to "rest". It will finish cooking during this time, and get extra tasty. If it looks like it's already cooked enough when you remove it form the grill, then don't let it rest too long. Slice across the grain and at an angle, and enjoy. There are never any leftovers.
