I made this recipe for a party and it was by far the favorite. The beef and the dipping sauce were great.

I made this for a New Year's Eve party where we all wanted hearty apps, and it received RAVE reviews! I made the marinade as written, but marinated the flank steak overnight for extra flavor. I DID make the dipping sauce, but everyone agreed that the steak was delicious on its own!

I made this and let it marinate for 2 days and took it on a camping trip. It was so easy to make and it tasted so good. I didn't make the chile sauce, the meat was great on it's own. I will definitely make this again.
