Grilled Marinated Flank Steak

2 teaspoons garlic -- minced
1 tablespoon grated rind of navel orange
1/2 cup fresh orange juice -- strained
2 tablespoons white wine vinegar
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon fresh mint -- minced
OR 1 teas crumbled dried mint
1 1/2 lb flank steak -- trimmed
2 large navel oranges -- peeled & sliced thin
8 sprigs mint -- for garnish

In a shallow glass or ceramic dish, combine garlic, orange rind, juice, vinegar, pepper, mustard, and mint. Add steak to marinade; turn once to coat. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, turning steak twice in marinade.
Remove steak from marinade, scraping any bits of marinade clinging to meat back into the bowl. Transfer marinade to small saucepan and bring to a boil; reserve.
Lightly grease grill rack with vegetable cooking spray. Preheat charcoal grill until coals have turned a gray ashy color, or preheat gas grill according to mfg's suggested time on high heat. Place steak on grill 4 inches from heat source and sear 1 1/2 minutes on each side. Brush with a little reserved marinade and continue cooking, covered (with lid down or tented with foil), for approximately 4 minutes, brushing frequently with marinade. (Make a little slit in center of the steak to check for doneness. Steak should be pink inside.) Transfer to carving board, tent with foil, and let rest for 7 minutes before slicing.
Arrange orange slices in overlapping pattern around outside of platter.
Slice steak diagonally across the grain into very thin slices. Arrange down the center of the platter and garnish with mint.

Flank Steak Recipe

One 12-ounce jar orange marmalade
1/2 cup red wine vinegar
1 tablespoon chili powder
2 tablespoons A-1 steak sauce
1/2 cup ketchup
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
3 pounds flank steak
Salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste

1. In a large bowl, combine all ingredients and mix 'em up well.
Set aside 1 cup of the marinade (see step #3 & #4) and add the flank steak
to the remaining marinade and coat well. Cover and refrigerate overnight.

2. Preheat your BBQ grill so it's pretty darn hot. Toss the steak on the grill
pour some of the marinade on top. After a minute to get a good sear,
flip the flank steak over and pour a bit more of the marinade on that side.
Discard any leftover marinade (since it had been on raw meat).
Turn the BBQ burner down to medium. Flip again after 4 more minutes,
and then remove after 4 additional minutes. This will be fairly rare;
add a 1-2 minutes per side for more well done.

3. While you let the flank steak sit for 5 minutes, microwave the cup
of marinade that you put aside earlier so it is good-n-hot.

4. Spread half of the marinade across the steak and cut again the grain
into thin slices. Provide the last of the marinade for those that want
a little extra on their pieces, and start chowing down!
