This has to be in my top 10 favorite foods. Flank Steak is just good eats, as Alton Brown would say. Perhaps you know it by its other commonly known name of London Broil. It’s also a bit tougher than other cuts of beef, so it’s often marinated and is common in asian dishes such as Mongolian Beef.
I got this recipe from Guy Fieri, you know – the spikey faux blond guy on Food Network. But as with all recipes, I never follow it exactly, I’m pretty sure that every recipe I ever make changes a bit, no matter how many times I make it.
Here’s the ingredient list:
- 1 cup roughly chopped garlic (approximately 3 bulbs)
- 3/4 cup freshly squeezed lime juice (approximately 8 large limes)
- 1/2 cup clear tequila
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 1 bunch roughly chopped cilantro, leaves and stems
- 1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and diced
- 1 serrano pepper, seeded and diced
- 1 teaspoon cumin powder
- 1 tablespoon freshly cracked black pepper
- 1 1/2 to 2 pounds flank steak

Food. It’s an amazing thing really. So much so that “Nick” and “food” just seem to be have always been associated with each other. Though I love to eat food, I have just recently started to branch out into the world of actually making my own food – as in, really try to make delicious food other than sandwiches, bagged lettuce, frozen meals, canned soups, frozen waffles…. you get the picture. Here are the reasons:
- It’s been brought to my attention (wife) that I need to be more adventurous in the world of culinary exploration (cooking, not eating. I’ll eat just about anything).
and
- I’m becoming much more aware of what I’m putting into my body.
After having read Fast Food Nation, and Watching King Corn, I’m starting to really think about the substances that I eat on a daily basis. It’s with that in mind that I’m going to start chronicling the food that I eat – so that I can keep track of what I’m eating as well as perhaps store some of my favorite recipes and ideas.
