Our dinner was scrumptious tonight, so I thought I’d share. It was also super easy. The grill . . . is summers best friend. This honey, ginger, garlic marinated, glazed flank steak is tender & fall apart awesome. Grilled corn or asparagus – one of my favorites, is the perfect side. Homemade potato chips pushes it over the top!

The caption beside the recipe captured me!
