Grilled flank steak is a classic summer dish that is easy to make and packed with flavor. The key to a great grilled flank steak is to use a good quality steak and cook it over high heat for a short amount of time. This will result in a steak that is tender on the inside and slightly charred on the outside. Once the steak is cooked, it can be served with a variety of sides, such as sauteed beet greens and creamy horseradish beets. These sides are both easy to make and add a delicious and colorful touch to the meal.

SKIRT STEAK WITH BEETS AND GREENS
This affordable steak pairs well with vibrant seasonal vegetables. If your beets come with the greens still attached, use them in place of the Swiss chard. Spinach is another great substitute for the chard.
