Stepping back in time with My Cherished Cookbooks: Marinated Flank Steak

I have to have THE BEST Mother-in-law ! From the start, she has welcomed me into the FAMILY and willing to help with a loving heart! She has been so generous in sharing her love and support. She's given me many recipes throughout the years that have become Family Favorites.

Beef is one of our chart-buster chief constituent, I know, we aren't suppose to eat so much red meat these days... And in our house, we are behaving! Having Meatless Mondays, Fish twice a week, and when we're on a great streak sometimes it's three times a week! But sometimes, we crave BEEF !

And when we do, I pull out this best-loved Marinated Flank Steak.
When you try this recipe, it will become one of your ALL-Time Comestible First-Choice. When I serve this to guests of mine, they remark how full-flavored yet savory this tender morsel of beef. With the elements of a dry red wine, soy sauce and the surprise kick of Coffee ! Who wouldn't want to try! I'm thankful we have wonderful cooks in our family tree that are willing to pass down what they find to one's own heart.
