Recipe by

Very easy and oh so North African. Do not over cook this please. 130 degrees internal temperature is about right. I got this recipe from a web site, The Gutsy Gourmet, and have made it several times. Everyone loves it. You can use other cuts of beef the flank steak is just traditional. Be sure to read the notes at the end of the recipe.

    If you don't like it so hot, spicy wise, reduce the amount of harissa or use another hot sauce. I have used Franks to good affect. If you do use fresh oregano let the steak marinate for at least 2 hours. If you use a thicker cut of meat then overnight marinade is necessary.
