Father’s Day is in just a few short days, and if you are still looking for the perfect menu, I have a great steak recipe to share! Flank steak is a great cut of meat that doesn’t always get a lot of credit. But, if cooked properly, it can be tender, moist, very tasty and, not to mention reasonably priced!
