Recipe View 0 mins To serve, arrange the sliced flank steak on a serving platter and generously spoon the flavorful braising sauce over the top. Garnish with fresh parsley, if desired.

For an even richer flavor, consider adding a splash of dry red wine to the braising liquid.
If you don't have flank steak, chuck steak or flap meat work well as substitutes. You may need to adjust the braising time depending on the thickness of the cut.
The braising sauce can be thickened at the end by removing the steak and simmering the sauce over medium heat until it reaches your desired consistency.
