This Lime-Chipotle sauce that we used both to marinate and then serve over the flank steak was just divine — spicy, sweet, and citrusy! We also grilled up some asparagus (brushed with a touch of olive oil and seasoned with salt and pepper) and cooked potatoes with garlic and some fresh rosemary from our yard. Everything was perfect together — and of course, that sauce somehow ended up on the potatoes as well! 😉

3. In small sauce pan, let the marinade simmer over low heat
