I got this recipe from Elise of Simply Recipes. She has a lot of great recipes, so visit her blog! The marinade made the steak very flavorful, even after just 2 hours. The only things I changed were using a 1.25 lb flat iron steak instead of ...

This is the fall/winter version of the grilled pork tenderloin I made a few weeks ago. The rub is the same, but it also incorporates a raspberry chipotle sauce glaze. I use Fischer & Wieser's sauce, which I get at Costco. They make some other outstanding sauces ...
