Dinner has sort of morphed into a group sport of late.  I thought it was due to a little bit of a lull in the daily schedule but when I look at the schedule it's pretty full.  The weeks are full but the days seem to have a nice steady pace and we have been able to dig into some new projects, one of which has been cooking putzy food together. My husband started this train rolling earlier this summer and we have just kept chugging along trying new techniques and new tastes. I am sharing the keepers. : ) 

This dinner came from Eva Longoria's book. I didn't realize it was the actress until I had it home honestly.  Turns out it is full of fresh natural ingredients that taste just like the dishes we enjoyed living in San Antonio.  My family has really enjoyed it all so far. 

Flank Steak with Lime Marinade

mix together:

3T extra virgin olive oil

3T lime juice

4 garlic cloves thinly sliced

1 serrano pepper cored and sliced

2 tsp chili powder

1 tsp cumin

1/2 tsp kosher salt

Marinade 1.5 lbs flank steak in above for at least 2 hrs. Using paper towel, thoroughly dry the steak before grilling. (to prevent steaming vs browning crisply)  Grill 8-10 min total turning once for medium rare. Let sit on cutting board for 5 more minutes. Cut across the grain in thin slices. 

Turned out great. Husband's plate looks more rare than it was in the sunset. ; ) 

Amazon (linked above) saved me time here by including the recipe for the mint lemonade (we did the limeade version) which I loved.  For the hater's who dis'd her for including the ants on a log recipe, shame on you. Turns out Eva has a developmentally disabled sister who asked her to please put her 'recipe' into the book too.  She did.
