Sangria Flank Steak and Romesco Sauce

One of the best preparations for any Wagyu cut is ample salt, some pepper, and heat from a grill, open fire, griddle, or cast-iron skillet. No fuss because unlike lesser beef; Wagyu is the focal point, not the sauce, rub, or add-on. Having said that sometimes BOLD cuts of meat can hold up to bold flavors. CCR Premium Meats American Wagyu Flank Steak is a bold, meaty cut that can be enhanced with the right combination of marinating and spices without masking or detracting from the flavor, texture, and “grill ability” of Wagyu. This recipe transports your backyard into a café along La Rambla in Barcelona, Spain. The meat is marinated in citrus and garlic and then served with a Spanish Romesco made with almonds, peppers, tomatoes, and breadcrumbs. Close your eyes and take a bite because the Flamencos are about to perform.
