BRAISED FLANK STEAK WITH LEMON AND GARLIC
This is one of my mother's best recipes from my childhood. Flank steak was cheap back then, so feel free to substitute chuck steak or flap meat. The ingredients are simple but very flavorful. It's excellent with buttered noodles or white beans, and a green vegetable such as broccoli or asparagus.

Steps:
- Mix the flour and garlic powder together in a shallow dish. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Dip the steak in the flour mixture evenly coating both sides. Set aside. Discard remaining flour mixture.
- Heat the cooking oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Place the steak in the skillet and cook until browned on both sides, about 5 minutes for each side. Stir in the chicken broth, lemon juice, garlic, and cloves. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce heat to low. Cover, and simmer until steak is tender, about 1 1/2 hours.
- To serve, remove steak from the skillet, and slice across the grain in thin strips. Place on serving plates, and ladle sauce over meat.

LEMONY FLANK STEAK SKEWERS WITH LEMON DIPPING SAUCE
Since I make this recipe for my BBQ get togethers, the amounts I have listed will make a ton of skewers, you might want to reduce the recipe to half and only use two steaks which should give you about 20-25 skewers (yield is only estimated) or make the complete recipe to feed a crowd! The amounts stated for the dipping sauce will yield about 4-1/2 cups, you might also want to reduce to half. To save time slice the meat a day ahead, and to make slicing easier, partially freeze the steaks before slicing for about 15 minutes. Plan ahead the dipping sauce needs to be chilled for a minimum of three hours before serving, or make 24 hours in advance, and the beef strips needs to marinade for 8 hours. This recipe also works well using pork strips! This is delicious, and a real crowd-pleaser!

- Heat a grill pan over medium-high heat. Drizzle a small amount of olive oil onto one side of the steak and use a silicone brush to spread it all over the steak. Sprinkle with a nice pinch of kosher salt and pepper. Transfer the meat to the grill pan, seasoning side down.

Steps:
- For meat and marinade:
- Purée all ingredients except steak in a blender or a food processor until smooth. Trim strip of fat (sometimes called a fat cap) from meat. Cut fat into 1/4"-1/2" cubes; cut meat into approximately 1" cubes. Place fat and meat in a large bowl. Add marinade and toss to coat; cover and chill overnight.
- Remove fat and meat from marinade, brushing off excess. Thread onto skewers, alternating meat with fat, so that pieces are touching but not pressed tightly together (which would slow down cooking). Leave at least 1" of space at the ends of skewers for easy turning. Discard marinade; save excess fat for basting liquid.
- For scallion dipping sauce:
- Combine all ingredients in a large bowl just before you begin grilling; stir occasionally.
- For basting sauce:
- Mince any reserved leftover fat. Transfer to a small saucepan. Cook over medium-low heat until fat is heated through, about 3 minutes (fat will not melt completely). Add all ingredients and cook until just heated through; keep warm.
- Build a medium fire in a charcoal grill, or heat a gas grill to medium-high. Grill skewers, brushing with basting sauce and turning every 2 minutes, for 10 minutes. Stop basting and cook, turning every 2 minutes, until browned around edges and cooked through, about 6 minutes more. Serve with scallion dipping sauce on the side.
