Tonight's dinner was grilled flank steak that was so unbelievably tender.  So here you go . . . the original recipe.

Ingredients: 

1 1/2 lbs flank steak

1 tsp olive oil

1 1/2 - 2 Tbsp Chipotle Seasoning

1/2 tsp pepper

8 (8 inch) whole wheat tortillas or wraps

1 fresh pineapple, cut into 1/2-inch thick rings

1 red bell pepper, finely diced

1/2 c finely diced red onion

1/4 c chopped fresh cilantro

2 Tbsp red wine vinegar

Assembly Instructions:  Combine first 4 ingredients in a gallon resealable freezer bag; squish to mix.  Seal well, label and freeze.

Cooking Instructions:  Thaw completely.  Grill or broil steak 4-6 minutes a side. Let steak rest 8 minutes before slicing crosswise into very thin strips.  In the meantime, grill pineapple slices 1-2 minutes per side.   To prepare salsa, dice the pineapple, add red pepper, onion, cilantro and vinegar and a pinch of Chipotle Seasoning, if desired.  Serve steak with the pineapple salsa in warmed tortillas or wraps.  Makes 6 servings.

That was the original recipe.  Now, I customize to meet my family's tastes.  I only used 1 Tbsp of the Chipotle seasoning on the meat, used Avocado Oil instead of the olive oil, eliminated the bell pepper, used Walla Walla sweet onion instead of the red onion, used 1 tsp of dried cilantro instead of fresh, and finally, used Strawberry Balsamic Vinegar of Modena instead of the red wine vinegar. 

One thing we learned, the steak was too rare so we had to zap it in the microwave.

I served it over brown rice instead of using the tortillas.  Fresh steamed broccoli as a side.
