Total Time: 24 hrs 15 mins Preparation Time: 24 hrs Cook Time: 15 mins

Ingredients

• Servings: 6
• 2 1/2 lbs flank steaks, trimmed of all visable fat
• 1 (14 ounce) can italian-style crushed tomatoes
• 1 1/2 cups beef broth
• 3/4 cup dry red wine (such as shiraz)
• 1 large onion, halved,thinly sliced
• 2 cloves garlic, sliced thinly
• 1 tablespoon worcestershire sauce
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1 bay leaf
• 2 tablespoons butter, cut into pieces
• salt, to taste
• black pepper, to taste

Recipe

• 1 combine tomatoes, broth, wine, onion, garlic, worcestershire, thyme, and bay leaf in a large resealable plastic bag.
• 2 poke a few holes into the meat and place into the marinade bag, seal, toss to coat, and let marinade in the fridge overnight.
• 3 when you are ready to start cooking,set the meat bag on your counter and let sit at room temperature 15 minutes, then begin preparing your pan etc.
• 4 prepare your broiler pan by lining bottom pan with foil and brushing the top with some oil (or spray with nonstick cooking spray).
• 5 set meat on prepared pan and leave on the counter while you preheat the broiler to the broil setting (usually around 500 f)- this will take about 10-15 minutes.
• 6 for the sauce: pour the marinade into a small saucepan and bring to a light boil over medium-high heat,and let the liquid reduce until it measures 1 cup (takes a while- about 15 minutes).
• 7 once marinade has reduced, pour it through a strainer set over a bowl (discard the chunky parts)-then pour the liquid back into the pan and set aside, off of the heat, until the meat is ready.
• 8 for the meat: once you have started reducing the marinade for a few minutes, begin the meat.
• 9 set the meat pan under the broiler and cook 6-7 inches from the heat, 5-7 minutes, turn over and cook another 5 minutes for rare, or another 5 minutes for medium, even longer for well.
• 10 when meat has cooked to your liking, remove to a carving board and cover with foil, let sit while you finish the sauce.
• 11 once meat is under the foil,heat the marinade again,but don't let it boil.
• 12 stir in butter until it melts and season to taste with salt and pepper (i like seasoned salt).
• 13 slice the meat against the grain and drizzle with some of the sauce.
