Birthday Flank Steak a la Julia
Why I Love This Recipe
My grandfather got this recipe while watching Julia Childs on TV in the 1970s. It was what I chose for my birthday dinner every year growing up. As an adult I have modified the original recipe slightly. This version is with a flank steak, but I have used the marinade on chicken and fish. We serve it over rice drizzled with extra marinade. YUM!
Ingredients You'll Need
1 flank steak
1/2cup soy sauce
1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
juice of 2 lemons (sometimes I add more because my kids love the taste of lemons)
just under 1/4cup of Worcestershire Sauce
2 cloves chopped garlic
1/2 bunch of green onions/scallions, chopped
cracked pepper, to taste
*this is a pretty salty recipe so, use low sodium ingredients if you prefer
