The combination of the cilantro and lime with the vinegar give this dish such a refreshing zip!! You can substitute lemon juice if you prefer but I highly recommend using fresh as to bottled! It really does make a difference!Have you ever made a yummy sauce using your mini blender??? So very easy!!
The flatiron steak is a wonderful cut of beef it melted in my mouth!! So good and the sauce was tangy and added another layer of flavor!! This will definitely be made again here at my house!!! I also love to use left over steak in breakfast burritos and cheesy quesedillas!! YUMM!!
