Fantastic Flank Steak

Marinade:

1 1/2 tablespooons Dijon mustard
3 1/2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
1/2 teaspoon crumbled dry oregano
Salt and pepper, to taste
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
1 large clove of garlic, peeled and smashed


1 flank steak, about 1 1/4 to 1 1/2 pounds

1. Prepare the marinade: In a large bowl, whisk together the mustard, vinegar, oregano, salt and pepper. Slowly drizzle in the olive oil, whisking constantly until thickened; add the garlic.

2. Add the flank steak to the marinade and turn it to coat well. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for 8 hours, turning the steak once or twice. Remove from the marinade and pat dry.

3. Broil or grill the steak over high heat, 3 inches from heat source, 4 minutes per side for medium rare meat. Remove to a cutting board and let rest 10 minutes before slicing. Slice the steak thinly on the diagonal and arrange on a platter.
