Quick, easy & great on the grill:

Tenderize the flank steak with a mallet. In a mortar crush together approx. 2 oz cilantro, black pepper, salt, the juice of a half lemon, a clove of garlic and approx. 1 oz. of limoncello. Marinate the steak for about an hour, then grill. <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Joy.gif" alt="" />

Looks like a great recipe. Limoncello improves all it touches, including humans!! <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Thumbsup.gif" alt="" /> <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/jester.gif" alt="" />

Re: cilantro.....I have a couple of friends that say the same thing! Weird! I think it's distinctive but ok and it doesn't taste like soap. Wondering if anyone else feels the same.

I think it tastes like soap also... I usually substitute curly parsley...

It tastes worse than soap! I also use parsley but the taste is nowhere the same.

How weird. I like the taste of cilantro, in small batches anyway. Eric doesn't like it, so I don't use it much. I never asked him if he thought it tastes like soap though...

When I first tried it, I thought cilantro tasted like soap, but when I tried it again many years later, I loved it!

Fascinating article! I was a cilantro hater, but I think it's growing on me. If I'm the cook, however, I would never add it. Arugula - had it only once, in the BVI of all places, and I instantly detested it. Have avoided it ever since. I don't consider myself a fussy eater at all!

Interesting. I love cilantro but don't particularly like parsley!
