Flank Steak With Fresh Cilantro Sauce

This flank steak is quick and delicious to make.  My kids love dripping the green cilantro sauce over the flank steak.  Just marinate the steak for 1 hour before you cook it.  You can cook the flank steak over a hot grill or iron skillet.  This fresh cilantro sauce will spice up your meat and make an ordinary dish into something special.

Flank Steak with Cilantro Sauce:
Pre-Heat:  Grill or Iron Skillet
Serves: 4

1# flank steak
4 garlic cloves, cleaned and crushed
1 teaspoon Kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon fresh ground pepper
3 tablespoons olive oil
In a large ziplock bag place the steak, crushed garlic, salt, pepper and olive oil.  Close the ziplock bag and shack several times to incorporate all the ingredients.  Place in the refrigerator for 1 hour to marinate.  Remove the steak from the bag and and place on a hot grill or iron skillet for 5 minutes per side.  Allow meat to cool for 5 minutes before you slice it.

Cilantro Sauce:
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
4 garlic cloves, cleaned and crushed
1/8 cup fresh cilantro, cleaned and chopped
1 teaspoons salt
1/4 teaspoon fresh black pepper

In a small bowl, combine all the above ingredients and stir.  Add the Cilantro sauce to the top of the flank steak.
