Instructions
In a large bowl, thoroughly mix all the ingredients except for the flank steak and the garnish.
Pour half the marinade into a resealable 1- gallon plastic bag and add the flank steak. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 8 and up to 24 hours.
Pour the remaining marinade into a saucepan over medium- high and simmer until it is reduced by half, 10 to 15 minutes. Season to taste.
Preheat a grill to high or heat a skillet over high heat.
Remove the flank steak from the marinade and wipe off the excess liquid with paper towels. (Discard the meat’s marinade.) Grill or pan- sear both sides, then lower the heat to medium and cook to medium rare (135°F), 8 to 10 minutes.
Let the flank steak rest, covered with foil, for 5 to 10 minutes.
Cut the steak on the bias across the grain and serve with the reduced marinade. If desired, garnish with celery and tomatoes.
Recommended wine: Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Pinot Noir
Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Pinot Noir are great choices for Steak. After all, beef and red wine are a classic combination. Generally, leaner steaks go well with light or medium-bodied reds, such as pinot noir or merlot, while fattier steaks can handle a bold red, such as cabernet sauvingnon. One wine you could try is Robert Mondavi Napa Merlot. It has 4 out of 5 stars and a bottle costs about 30 dollars.

Robert Mondavi Napa Merlot
The wine's multi-dimensional flavors come from grapes grown in distinctly different terroirs of Napa Valley, including the Carneros, Stags Leap and Oakville districts. Traditional techniques, including native yeasts, extended maceration, aging in French oak barrels and bottling without filtration, enhanced the wine's complexity. This wine is delicious with many entrees and cheeses. One of our favorite food pairings is roast turkey with a wild mushroom and walnut stuffing. Roast leg of lamb, rubbed with fragrant herbs and spices, or grilled pork loin also marry perfectly with the wine's luscious flavors.
