I recently discovered the joy that is grilled marinated flank steak.  We’ve always been big fajita fans, but in the past I would cook pre-cut strips of steak in a pan on the stove.  That was, until a few months ago when my brother-in-law suggested trying grilled flank steak in our fajitas.  And, now?  There’s no turning back!  This flank steak marinade will make you a true believer too.
