Ingredients

1 untreated cedar plank (14x7x1 inch)
1/2 cup KRAFT Balsamic Vinaigrette Dressing
1/2 cup finely chopped onions
1/2 cup chopped fresh parsley
1/4 cup chopped cilantro
2 cloves garlic, minced
dash crushed red pepper
1 beef flank steak (1-1/2 lb.)
1 Tbsp. oil

Steps:

Immerse plank in water, placing a weight on top of plank to keep it submerged. Soak at least 4 hours or overnight. Meanwhile, mix dressing, onions, parsley, cilantro, garlic and red pepper. Remove 1/2 cup of the dressing mixture; set aside for later use. Pour remaining dressing mixture into large resealable plastic bag; add steak. Seal bag; turn over several times to evenly coat steak with the dressing mixture. Refrigerate at least 2 hours to marinate.
Preheat grill to high heat. Remove steak from marinade; discard bag and marinade. Grill steak 3 min. on each side; remove from grill. Remove plank from water; brush top with oil. Top with steak. Place on grate of grill; cover with lid. Reduce grill to medium heat.
Grill 15 to 20 min. or until medium doneness (160ºF). Remove steak from grill; discard plank. Cover steak loosely with foil; let stand 5 min. Cut steak into thin slices. Spoon reserved dressing mixture over steak.
