Ingredients:

• 1 1/2 pounds flank steak
• 1/2 cup light Italian salad dressing
• 1 1/2 cups tomato basil pasta sauce
• 1 tablespoon minced garlic
• 1/4 cup Chianti red wine
• 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

Instructions:

1. Rinse the flank steak with cold water and dry thoroughly with paper towels. Place the steak in a large resealable plastic bag. Pour in the salad dressing, 1/2 cup of the pasta sauce, and the garlic. Gently massage the bag to combine the marinade ingredients with the steak. Refrigerate and marinate for 1 to 8 hours.
2. In a small saucepan, mix the remaining pasta sauce, red wine, and Italian seasoning. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat. Then lower the heat and keep the sauce warm.
3. Take the steak out of the refrigerator about 30 minutes before cooking to bring it to room temperature. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Just before grilling, clean and oil the grill grate.
4. Remove the steak from the marinade bag, discarding the leftover marinade. Place the steak on the hot grill and cook for 6 to 7 minutes on each side. Serve immediately, accompanied by the warm sauce.
