A long time ago I signed up for a daily email recipe idea from MyRecipes by Cooking Light.  The recipes are often ones I've seen before, and many times are the same ones featured in that month's issue of Cooking Light - but when they come to me in email, they seem even more appealing.  I've made many of the recipes that were sent to me this way, but none have been quite as enjoyable as one that came a few weeks ago - Ancho-Rubbed Flank Steak.

The steak is made in a pan and only takes a few minutes to cook.  I substituted regular chili powder (with a dash of jalapeno powder) for the ancho chili powder, and it tasted great.  This recipe also includes an idea for a quick side salad  and recommended serving it all with a side of roasted potato wedges.  The kids loved all of it, and we cleaned up the salad, potatoes, and everyone had a healthy serving of steak.  But since flank steaks are more then we can eat in one meal, it made great leftovers - serving our family for two more meals.  I'll definitely make this one again.
