This was so good! I added a few extra shakes of crushed red pepper and a pinch of salt and pepper. Went great with Mexican rice and a cucumber salad. Thank you for a fabulous lunch!

Love the cilantro marinade, never thought of using the stems but the flavor was intense and using the grill made for a fast, easy dinner that we both enjoyed

Absolutely wonderful -- we didn't have flank steak so used another steak (ranch steak) which was about 1 inch thick and the marinade worked out great. Served with potatoes and corn cooked on the grill and strawberry ice cream. Great meal for Memorial Day! Thanks for sharing!
