Balsamic Flank Steak with Veggies
This recipe takes a little bit of time to prepare but it has a very nice presentation. You can use skirt steak in place of flank steak also. I like to marinate the steak to tenderize it. The balsamic reduction sauce gives it a great flavor. My favorite way to prepare is to put on the grill, smoke it for 30 minutes and then cook for 20 minutes. I like it just pink to medium.
