Fantastic!!! Loved the flavor from the marinade, then the seasoning and the wonderful onion sauce!!! I made this as written with the exception of using skirt steak and only 1/2 lb, my store rarely has flat iron steaks. I still made 1/2 of the marinade and sauce and eyeballed the seasonings for our taste. I would definitely recommend doubling the sauce/onion part for any recipe!!! Thanks for sharing the recipe.
