How to make it

---

• Take the yogurt,olive oil,garlic,lemon juice,sea salt to a mixing bowl,blend it,and then transfer to a one gallon zip lock bag along with the steak,press and remove all the excess air,seal the bag,put it in the cooler overnight,turning the bag occasionally...No! You don't have to set the alarm :o)
• Take the flank,from the cold,bring to room temperature before cooking,pat dry,heat oil in a large iron skillet,over high heat until smokin',meanwhile remove the flank,discard the marinade,season the top of the steak generously with sea salt and freshly ground pepper,place the seasoned side directly into the smokin' hot skillet,then season the other side...Do Not Remove the steak once it hits the pan...for you want a good ol' sear to develop on this steer.Once the steak has formed a crisp,dark,beautiful crust,flip and continue cooking until done.Trasfer the flank to a board,loosely tent and allow to rest for a bit,the flank will retain it's applied heat and continue to cook a bit.
• To have the most tender bites,you will slice against the grain...this is where your knife skills will come in handy,make diagonal razor thin cuts.Transfer the slices to a serving platter...May serve with a horseradish sauce,or,a Gorau Glas cheese sauce...but I prefer to nudge the fond from the bottom of the pan along with all those good residual juices,placing it in and around the 'Cut Em'Off At The Flanks'...Thanks :o)
• You will want a good,solid,full body,Merlot to match with this steak,I have my favorite,and that bad boy drinks more like a Cabernet Sauvignon then it does a Merlot,it has plenty of weight and structure making it a great match for a tough steak...Fight big and tough with big and tough...'Make A Wish' :o)
