Front Burner

So this freezer meal takes a little more effort upon actually preparing it for dinner but to be able to pull meat out that tastes like this? Totally worth the work. Essentially it's just a marinade that you freeze the steak in. However, by freezing the flavor in, you end up with a juicy, tender, wonderfully tasting steak that makes mouths water. Even my kids cleaned their plates and there's a lot to be said for that! I served it with steamed green beans and an alfredo pasta but mashed potatoes would have accompanied it nicely too. Something to soak up some of the outstanding sauce that goes over the meat.

Provencal Flank Steak

1 tablespoon minced garlic
1 teaspoon dried rosemary
1/2 teaspoon chili powder
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 cup honey
1 cup soy sauce
1/2 cup red wine
1 1/2 pounds flank steak

Place steak in resealable freezer bag (labeled and dated.) Combine remaining ingredients in a large bowl and pour into freezer bag with steak. Marinate overnight or freeze for up to 3 months.

To cook: If frozen, thaw completely. Prepare broiler or hot grill. Remove steak from marinade and sear on both sides, about 5 minutes per side. Meanwhile, pour marinade into a saucepan and boil over high heat for 5 minutes. Slice steak into thin slices across the grain. Drizzle marinade over steak and serve. *recipe courtesy of Dream Dinners*
