Day 4--Firecracker Flank Steak

Day 4 of the challenge. Thankfully I started marinating the flank steak on Monday! I am getting pretty sick of my own food, but maybe that's good since I need to lose about 20 pounds.

The marinade is two chipotle peppers smashed up in the adobo sauce that came in the can with a healthy dose of red wine vinegar, a little olive oil, garlic (I know, what a shock), pepper and a bit of salt. Let the flank steak marinate in the fridge for 48 hours, shaking occasionally and turning once. I plan on broiling it (since my kitchen isn't big enough for an indoor grill, we don't have a yard for an outdoor grill, and my big grill pan is still back in Tucson--oops) and will most likely fill the apartment with smoke. Oh well, that's what windows are for.

Will be slicing it very thin, across the grain, and serving with steamed broccoli and Thai peanut noodles. Should be pretty yummy, but you never know with flank steak...
