Asian play on everyone's favorite, Steak and Potatoes. The flank steak is quick and easy to prepare. Flank steak can be difficult to chew, so it is important to cut the slices against the grain. The slaw, while quite sweet, does have a bite to it. For those of you weary of spicy heat, you may wish to drop the habanero pepper. The serrano peppers still give it wonderful flavor along with a little kick. The red peppers look great with the greens and whites of the cabbage. Finally, the wasabi mashed potatoes are a sure hit! Add good friends and a nice bottle of wine and you'll have a fantastic night. Enjoy!
