This very masculine Tuscan-style flank steak would be agreat way to show the big guy you love him, and that you respect his grillingskills so much that you’re going to go ahead let him do the cooking himself. Ofcourse, the grill needs to be cleaned, but he can do that after he mows thelawn.I’ve only been to Tuscany once, about 25 years ago, but I doremember a grilled steak coming off a charcoal fire, which was then sliced andsplashed with olive oil, lemon and rosemary. While I’m sure my version is farfrom traditional, it’s really tasty and the very user-friendly flank steak isthe perfect cut.
I get a little sad when I see people buying those lemon-pepper-herb steak marinades, since they're ridiculously easy to make, and you can actually pronounce all the ingredientsin it. Just to hedge our bets, we’re also going to do an equallysimple, but flavor-amplifying dressing to drizzle over the juicy slicedbeef.No matter what you serve, don’t do it too late. If yourfather is as big a golf fan as my father-in-law Al is, the best gift you cangive is to plan the day so they get to relax and watch the US OpenChampionship. What better way to reward your father than with a few hours on the couch, belly full of flank steak, watching their favoritesports? Enjoy!
