TUSCAN FLANK STEAK
I've only been to Tuscany once, but I do remember a grilled steak coming off a charcoal fire, which was then sliced and splashed with olive oil, lemon, and rosemary. While I'm sure my version is far from traditional, it's really tasty and the very user-friendly flank steak is the perfect cut.

TUSCAN MARINADE
This marinade is particularly good with vegetables (see the following recipe) or with chicken paillard or flank steak. For chicken, pound four 6-to-8-ounce chicken breasts until they are 1/4 inch thick. Marinate in the refrigerator for 4 hours. Grill over hot coals until tender, about 2 to 3 minutes per side. For flank steak, marinate a 1 1/2-to-2-pound piece in the refrigerator for 8 hours. Grill over hot coals until medium rare, about 3 to 4 minutes per side.
