This marinated flank steak recipe of the month to have for lunch or dinner is brought to you from our Manor House Culinary Team at The Grove. It is paired with Japanese eggplant and roasted sweet potatoes. Not overly heavy, this meal is a healthy option for the family.
The recipe for the marinade will leave you with extra, so you can make the dish again or use them in a variation with chicken and green beans.
Our Manor House Culinary Team suggests this meal would pair well with a glass of white wine or a Japanese brand of beer like Asahi or Sapporo.

Here are some words from our Chef:
“Now that we have been able to host members back in the Manor House with Dining Reservations, we are preparing to roll out our summer menu for both lunch and dinner. This coming weekend, we are launching the new menus and hoping that everything is going to be in our favor to open the pool with similar restrictions as the Manor House. We look forward to seeing familiar faces around the Manor House and pools this summer.”
