Save Money Using Flank Steak |Christine Cushing
I show you how to perfectly sear a flank steak completely on the stove top to juicy perfection. And why using a flank steak instead of a rib eye or strip loin can save you money. With my simple marinade and dry rub this 20 minute cook is ideal for your favourite tacos. Plus I assemble tacos with fresh coriander, lime and a simple salsa.
