I'm not a big fan of steak, but I really enjoyed this recipe. The marinade made the steak very tender and flavorful.

I didn't have any flat iron steak, so I used skirt steak instead. It turned out great!

This was a great recipe! I used a flank steak instead of a flat iron steak and it turned out great. The marinade was very flavorful and the steak was cooked perfectly.
