Grilled Flank Steak with Olive Vinaigrette

Flank Marinating Steak is lean and absorbs all the flavour you can give it. A quick grill makes it easy to enjoy.

That all changed when I started working in restaurants and cooking liver regularly. I became much more used to the flavour and aroma, and I grew to enjoy it. Liver and onions are a classic diner dish, slightly elevated here with the addition of balsamic vinegar.
