Flank steak and Eggs burrito with hot peppers

So I am watching Author, and Author with Al Pacino, a movie I have never seen.  All though I feel I am a Pacino aficionado this is a new movie for me.  It brings me back to the times of when I grew up in New York City.   Playing stick ball on the stoop, cooking from scratch bran muffins in my moms diner the (name kept secret).  But I regress, recent information has led me to believe that for some strange reason I am a distant cousin, or let me correct, my father was a second cousin.  I say was, because my father is dead.  Of the infamous and highly celebrated, well lets just say Gambino.  I hope this post doesn't get me whacked.  Either way lets talk food. 

Flank steak a tough piece of meat, I have been skilled in the  art of making a shitty piece of meat editable.  Of course these skills come from the Goddess of flank, my mother. Lets break it down, marinate the flank with oil I have always used vegetable oil only because, you have to broil this steak, and if you use a olive oil it tends to burn and become bitter.  Oil, soy sauce, no salt because soy is salty enough, pepper, and of course fresh garlic, and some type of acidic citrus, oranges work well.  Let your flank marinade if you can for 24 hours.  The most important part is to broil, setting your shelf as high as you can.  Be prepared, have a serving bowl lined with aluminum foil, enough foil, to be able to fold over the top .  This way the meat cooks in its own juices when you cut it rare.  Cook your flank until you see it browning on the outside, then cut slivers, always with the grain.  Put those cuts in your your aluminum lined  pan and pour some juices in and cover.  If I haven't mentioned pour all of your marinate into the broiler pan along with your meat.  Follow and repeat ,and you will be rewarded with a spectacular tasting piece of steak easily served with any starch and vegetables.

For my uses, my perfect wife, who has mastered the art of flank, has pre packaged all ready cooked flank.  I incorporate this in my frying pan with butter, and some hot chili peppers.  now just add eggs, layer a tortilla with your cheese of choice.  Fill, roll and serve. PERFECT..................

As far as the rig goes the daylight driller and his derrick hand twisted off.  The dumb ass tool pusher hasn't learned how to talk, let alone appreciate the people that make his job easier.  The driller that just twisted pulled up, from my understanding the driller spoke with the superintendent.  That means that that piece of shit tool pusher is most definitely, and long over due a run off mother fucker..................
