‘Tis the season for grilling, and this flank steak is the perfect way to celebrate warm weather foods, and it’s quick enough that you can enjoy it even on the busiest day of your week.
Every two weeks, we have a Girl Scout meeting in the evening and the timing of it usually means take-out on the way home, or scrounging through the refrigerator for leftovers.
But tonight, I made an effort to get dinner done before we even left.
I also needed something quick and easy, healthy, and that the kids would eat.
This is that.
Well, almost that.
Delivering all the goodness of dinner cooked on the grill, this meal can be ready in thirty minutes, which includes the 15 minutes of marinating time.
That’s a movement I can get behind.
Once I started marinating the steak, I popped a tray of cherry tomatoes in the oven for roasting, and when the steak was done grilling, the tomatoes were done. The steak was then topped with the roasted tomatoes and torn pieces of fresh basil.
Super simple and super delicious.
Whether you’re following Whole30, paleo, primal, clean eating … or just an eat-all-things-grilled lifestyle, this meal works out perfectly. In half an hour, you can get a complete dinner that you can feel good about serving your family.
Which is pretty much my favorite kind of meal.
