KEY WEST FLANK STEAK

Key West Flank Steak image

My husband, Jason, is the cook in our family. This is his recipe, inspired by his Colombian roots and our visits to Key West. Sometimes we grill extra lime and onion slices alongside. Serve with sides of rice and fried plantains. -Gretchen Ospina, Columbia Heights, Minnesota
