    (Note: If cooking in the oven, turn the flank steak a couple of times.

    This keeps the top from drying out too badly.)

12. 12

    You may need to cut the sauce with some more water, as this is a very flavourful sauce.

    Thicken with a slurry of flour and water added to the sauce.

15. 15

    Slice across to serve in thin slices.
