Sunday Funday Pantry Marinade

It has been hot, hot, hot in DC for the past 2 weeks, we are on day 13 of 90+ heat. Motivation level for cooking has been on a low for the past 2 weeks for a couple of reasons. 1-My husband just started a new job and spent last week in San Francisco and 2-Again, it's hot so not very hungry.

This morning, we ventured out to the Dupont Circle farmer's market and lunch at the best burger place.EVER. http://www.bgrtheburgerjoint.com/ I bought beautiful Heirloom Tomatoes, Sweet Corn, Beans, Fresh Basil and local fresh Mozarella at the market. After our hot 3 mile walk to the market and my food coma from BGR I wanted an easy dinner.

Here is an easy marinade for a flank steak we had in the fridge and marinade made from pantry items that I think you will have as well. There is enough acid and alcohol that you really only need 4 hours to marinade-it was so good that I would love to taste this at some point after an overnight marinade.

Pantry Flank Steak

1 Flank Steak

1/2 cup Soy Sauce

1/2 cup Worcestershire Sauce

1/2 cup Red Wine

2 T Sriracha

2 T Dijon Mustard

5 cloves garlic-crushed

ground pepper

Throw the Flank Steak in a Ziplock bag and pour all of these ingredients in the bag. Once all of the ingredients and steak are in the bag mix everything together. Marinade for at least 4 hours. Grill to your taste. We ate this with grilled corn and grilled farmer's market squash tonight.
