   I grilled these marinated flank steaks about four minutes a side on medium high heat. They were medium in the thin dots and medium rare in the thicker spots. The kids loves them.

   my sauce for that would be soy sauce, then a little bit chili red pepper grounded and a lemon cut and squeezed and a good aide dish is mixed veggies fry with soy sauce to complement the steak

   We have made flank steak either like that or on the broiler, then cut them on the bias, and brush it with a mix of worcestershire and butter.
   
   Loved that since I was a kid. Our local stores don't have flank steak, what they have similar is called a flat iron steak.
   
   Still wonderful

   I would have to marinade them in a kiwi mixture for about an hour and then tenderize and season them with a southwestern mix then seared in a hot pan. Flank steaks are really tough pieces of meat and even tougher when grilled.

      They don't have to be dead.  Slicing them right from the grazing steer and eating them raw is more nutritious.

         Serously, I can't eat beef any more.  We ate so little for so many years that, which it still smells and tastes good, if I eat it I do not feel well later.  Consequently, I avoid it whenever possible.
         
         I really don't think it's a healthy choice anyway.  Especially with all the junk they feed the animals now.
         
         I can still do eggs and chicken, but even that we only have once or twice a month.  We mostly eat fruit, veggies and nuts.

   One thing you can do with flank steak is slice it into thin strips against the grain. I do this with an electric knife.  After it's sliced, it doesn't seem as tough. We like it because it's so lean.

            If I called you an A-hole however, it was probably meant as an insult.

      Not to my knowledge.  I took it as a compliment.
