I can't help but think of our trip to Lebanon especially during this week of July. The feast of Saint Charbel, a Maronite priest and monk from Lebanon, is on the 24th. My grandfather Richard Abowd ended every prayer at mealtime with his hallmark: "Saint Charbel, pray for us." I try to remember to say it too, as much to honor my grandfather's way as for the prayer itself that we need so much. We visited the monastery with Mom in Aannaya, Lebanon and took in a fuller sense of meaning for this healer and spiritual guide.

The Feast of St. Charbel also means: it's the third week in July! Whoa nellie! I have been wanting to make my most delectable marinated grilled flank steak recipe all summer, so I'm sharing that with all of us this week as the centerpiece to our menu. The flavors really pop with pomegranate molasses and dijon mustard (umami galore). The steak is juicy and comes out perfectly tender every time with my tips for grill and marinade time and more.
Scroll down for the rest of the menu, which includes grilled vegetables in the same marinade.
To celebrate summer (and St. Charbel!), we're having a SALE in the shop this week so we can squeeze as much flavor and goodness out of our cooking, gifting, and more. Shop with code SUMMER24 for 15% off your entire order.
Bless your hands, and St. Charbel, pray for us,
Marinated Flank Steak.
My freshly updated post includes all of the tips we need to make excellent flank steak. This marinade (and dipping sauce) is not to be missed this summer! Use pomegranate molasses to delicious effect.
