"I cannot begin to describe how intoxicating the house smelled all day long. The lean flank steak is seared on the stovetop and then braised in the oven for two-and-a-half hours in red wine, thyme, garlic and other aromatics. The result is succulent, flavorful meat with a pleasingly crisp exterior. It pairs rather well with the acidity of the grilled red onions and roasted red bell peppers. And, of course, Gruyère loves beef. Good things, indeed, come to those who wait." - PaniniHappy
