FLANK STEAK A LA WILLYBOY
You HAVE to let this steak sit overnight. Don't bother making it if you can't put in the time, because the payoff is worth it. This staple in our household is a favorite of all who try it! You can BBQ in summer or broil in the winter for a perfect, filling meal. I like corn on the cob and some sort of rice to complement this mouth watering steak.

Tips:
- Choose the right cut of meat: For Steak a la Barbara Stanwyck, you'll need a tender and flavorful cut of steak. Some good options include rib eye, New York strip, or tenderloin.
- Cook the steak to your desired doneness: The cooking time will vary depending on the thickness of your steak and how you like it cooked. For a medium-rare steak, cook for about 4-5 minutes per side. For a medium steak, cook for about 5-6 minutes per side.
- Make sure to sear the steak well: Searing the steak creates a delicious crust and helps to lock in the juices. To sear the steak, heat a heavy skillet over high heat and add some oil. Once the oil is hot, add the steak and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until a nice crust has formed.
- Baste the steak with butter and garlic: While the steak is cooking, baste it with a mixture of melted butter, garlic, and herbs. This will help to add flavor and keep the steak moist.
- Let the steak rest before slicing: Once the steak is cooked, let it rest for a few minutes before slicing. This will help the juices to redistribute throughout the steak, making it more tender and flavorful.
