This is chapter two for Meg's 21st birthday...what a great night it was and thanks to Meg for building a great menu for us all to enjoy!
If you haven't figured it out by now, Murph's a huge fan of flank steak. Lean, tender beef that's easy to prepare and grills in minutes is the right recipe for our busy lifestyle and proclivity to entertain. I warn you that this is a really spicy marinade and you have to be really careful about not rubbing your eyes and standing back from the grill when you put the steaks on.

| Here's the Beef! |
Ingredients
2 Large Flank Steaks
1 Dos Equis Amber
Juice of 4 Limes
1/4 Cup Olive Oil
1/4 Cup Hot New Mexico Chile Powder
1/4 Cup Szegeo Hungarian Hot Paprika
1 tsp Cayenne Pepper
2 Tbsp Sea Salt
2 tsp White Pepper
2 Tbsp Granulated Garlic
2 Tbsp Mexican Oregano
2 Tbsp Cumin
Add all dry ingredients to a mixing bowl and blend well. Squeeze limes into bowl with dry ingredients, add olive oil then slowly add the Dos Equis or your favorite Mexican beer. Allow to settle for a few minutes and blend with a whisk until mixture is smooth. Place steaks into a gallon Ziploc and slowly pour mixture into the bag. Squeeze the air out of the bag and make sure the steaks are fully coated. Place in refrigerator and marinate for at least 4 hours. Check the bag frequently and make sure the mixture is well distributed and coating the meat thoroughly. Remove steaks from frig about one hour prior to serving. One of the keys to a great flank steak is not to pull it directly from the frig and put it on the grill. A cold steak does not cook as evenly as one that has risen to room temp so make sure to follow this step every time you make any steak.

| Slice Thinly... |
Place steaks on a very hot grill and cook for 5 minutes per side for medium rare. Place your marinade back in the original bowl and brush the meat with remaining liquid as the steaks cook.
Allow to sit for a few minutes, slice thinly on the bias and enjoy!
Buon Apetito!
