STORY BEHIND THE DISH

Years ago my sister & I used to buy prepared dinners from a placed called Super Suppers in Fountain Valley. Since the location in our city closed, I have been trying to recreate one of our favorite meals, Dr. Pepper Flake Steak. I know what you are thinking...that sounds weird!? Believe me, whether you are a fan or not of Dr. Pepper, this flank steak recipe is worth a try!
