It's a work day, so this probably is not what you're thinking of, unless you and Laura cook together....it's a Martin Yan sandwich that we just love with flank steak.

Looks like a lot, but it is really quite fast. I've marinated the entire steak and grilled it, then sliced and you still get lots of the flavor - even faster.

Korean Sizzling Beef

Recipe By :
Serving Size : 0 Preparation Time :0:00
Categories :

Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------


1/4 cup soy sauce
2 tablespoons sugar
2 tablespoons dry white wine
2 large garlic cloves, very finely chopped
1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil
2 teaspoons crushed red pepper
One 2 1/2-pound beef flank steak, cut across the grain into twenty 1/4-inch-thick slices
16 scallions
Vegetable oil, for rubbing
Salt
Steamed rice, for serving

In a large, shallow dish, combine the soy sauce with the sugar, white wine, chopped garlic, toasted sesame oil and crushed red pepper, stirring to dissolve the sugar. Add the sliced flank steak and coat thoroughly in the marinade. Cover and refrigerate the steak for at least 4 hours or overnight.

Light a grill or heat a griddle. Rub the scallions all over with vegetable oil and grill them over high heat, turning once, until the scallions are just softened, about 2 minutes. Season with salt.
Working in batches, grill the steak over high heat until the slices are richly browned and medium-rare, about 30 seconds per side. Transfer the steak to a serving platter and serve with the grilled scallions and steamed rice.

Or you can try this one from Cuisine that Theresa has mentioned several times, so it must be good.

I think it is going to be this http://www.foodrepublic.com/2011/06/29/z...kes-recipe but with a green curry mayo. Perhaps a bit of marinated red pepper and artichoke salad on the side?

Denise, the first one Maryann posted is most like mine. I think I already gave mine to you.

Karyn, you're going to LOVE it!

I had Mushroom Pork Marsala with buttery noodles and peas in mind, since I've got everything for that, but William had Kim's Spicy Chicken for lunch and doesn't want anything heavy. He told me to go for it, not one of his favs anyway. He said he'd be happy with a simple salad and tomato sammie. I'm undecided now.
