Don’t Try this on a Weeknight: Grilled Flank Steak, Skinny Smashed Red Skin Potatoes and Steam Green Beans



The Don’t Try this on a Weeknight series of recipes are ones that take more than 30 minutes, most should be reserved for weekends or when you have a little more time.


You could try this recipe on a weeknight if you made the marinade the night before or early in the morning. The marinade takes about 5 minutes to make.

This flank steak is simply one of the best things I make, it is truly crazy good. This well rounded dinner gets even tastier with Good, Better, Best.

Flank Steak-Good
¾ cup soy sauce or tamari
4 Tbs. whole grain mustard
4-5 garlic cloves chopped
1/3 Worcestershire sauce
1-1 1/2 lbs flank steak

In a bowl combine first 6 ingredients. Combine steak and marinade in a zip top bag. Chill for 10-24 hours turning the bag often.

Remove steak from bag and discard marinade. Grill steak 6-7 minutes per side. Let sit for 10 minutes before slicing into thin strips.

Skinny Smashed Potatoes-Good
5 large red skinned potatoes quatered
1 cup chicken broth
¼ cup parmesan cheese
salt and pepper

Cover potatoes with water in a large saucepan over medium-high heat and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium. Cover and cook for 10 minutes or until the potatoes are tender.
Drain potatoes well and return back to warm pan. With the pan on very low heat, begin to mash the potatoes. Add parmesan cheese. Add chicken broth a little at a time and continue to add until potatoes reach desired creaminess.

Serve steak with skinny smashed potatoes and fresh steamed green beans.

Better: Add one element of organic steak, organic, farmer’s market or home grown potatoes, organic chicken broth or organic, farmer’s market or home grown green beans.

Best: Multiple elements of organic steak, organic, farmer’s market or home grown potatoes, organic chicken broth or organic, farmer’s market or home grown green beans.
