Grilled Asian Flank Steak with Mango Salad

  • Found this recipe in the May 2013 edition of Cooking Light and we made it for dinner tonight. It was delicious!! Great flavors. Served it with the wonton crisps as suggested in the magazine. Definitely would make it again. 

  • Pretty much followed the recipe. I used the freeze dried cilantro in place of fresh and skipped the mint and cilantro leaves in the salad. I bought ball tip steak at the suggestion of the meat guy and it was good- not too chewy- just like I like it. :)
