SAVORY MARINATED FLANK STEAK 1 4 1/2 1/3 1/3 1/3 1/2

Grill a flank steak this weekend and you’ll have dinner covered later in the week with tacos made from the leftovers.

Flank steak is a lean, somewhat tough cut of meat. But don’t worry—that toughness is easily doused by a couple of hours soaking in a flavorful marinade. Best served at medium-rare temperature, flank steak also needs a bit of care when slicing. It’s important to slice it across the grain (rather than with the fibers of the meat) for the most tender slices. For most flank steaks, this means slicing across the short width, rather than along the length.

GROCERIES • DELI • WINE • FLORAL 1041 Grass Valley Road, Winnemucca

(2- to 2 1/2-lb) flank steak cloves garlic, minced cup minced red onion cup Worcestershire sauce cup white wine or white wine vinegar cup olive oil tsp coarse salt Freshly ground black pepper

1. Score steak in a crisscross pattern on one side, making the cuts about 1 inch apart.

2. Combine all ingredients except steak in a ziptop plastic bag. Add steak to the bag, seal and refrigerate for at least 2 hours.

3. Remove steak from the bag and let stand 1 hour at room temperature before cooking.

4. Oil the grill grates and heat the grill until hot (450°F to 500°F). Grill steak about 5 minutes per side for medium-rare. Place on a platter, cover loosely with foil and let stand 10 minutes before serving. To serve, slice the steak across the grain into 1/4-inch slices. Or slice half of the steak and reserve the rest for tacos.

Serves 8.

FLANK STEAK TACOS Preheat oven to 375°F. Wrap corn tortillas in foil and warm in oven for about 10 minutes.

Heat 2 Tbsp oil in a nonstick skillet over medium heat; add thinly sliced leftover steak. (Sprinkle with chili powder and crushed red pepper flakes if you like.)

Cook, tossing the steak, until warmed through. Divide the steak among the tortillas and add toppings, including sliced avocado, chopped red onion, chopped jalapeño peppers, chopped cilantro, shredded Monterey Jack cheese, shredded lettuce and chopped tomatoes.

Serve with lime wedges for squeezing on top.

Larena’s Race kicks off May 7

T

winnemucca / battle mountain

his year’s Larena’s Race will be held May 7 in both Winnemucca and Battle Mountain.

The run, ride, or walk event begins at 10 a.m. at French Ford Middle School (Winnemucca) or John Peters Health Services Center (Battle Mountain), with registration from 8:30 to 9:45 a.m. A silent auction will also be held during the event.

The LaRena Smith Bengoa Run, Ride or Walk for the Cure was formed in 2002. We are a non-profit organization made up of all volunteers that work to provide assistance to residents of Humboldt and Lander

counties that are fighting any type of cancer. We are also excited to give funding to support research to find a cure for cancer. Our research donations go to Stand Up 2 Cancer and we request that every cent of our donation go to research.

They have formed a cooperative coalition to work together in the fight for the cure rather than compete against one another.

What makes us unique is our passion to stop cancer and perhaps help our family, friend, neighbor or co-worker beat this horrible disease.

Who are we? The Larena Smith Bengoa Run, Ride, or Walk for the Cure (now Larena’s Race) has organized, survived, and grown since 2002, helping hundreds of people with hundreds of thousands of dollars, while still contributing to cancer research.

We do only the one event each year, which includes a Saturday run, ride, or walk (1, 3, or 5 mile). It is held on Friday and Saturday before Mother’s day each year, and we rely on those proceeds to provide help to newly diagnosed patients starting treatment, as well as patients who are facing additional treatments throughout the year. The money we provide can be used for fuel, motels, wigs, meals; whatever each individual may need.

None of our team, which has grown from three to sixteen people, receives any compensation. Humboldt General Hospital and French Ford Middle School have become much appreciated partners in making the event happen, and we have received amazing support from the mining industries, and local businesses and organizations. We are hoping for a record breaking year in terms of money raised, so that we can increase the amount available to each individual for help.

That is who we are. Don’t wonder how to help local residents who have cancer, join us for Larena’s Race! You can count on your help reaching those fighting cancer, quickly and directly.

Winnemucca’s Humboldt General Hospital and French Ford Middle School, both aid in putting on the event, and there has been much support received from the mining industries and local businesses and organizations. For more information, please visit larenasrace.org. F

YOUR HOROSCOPE FOR MAY ARIES (March 21-April 19). When you feel yourself getting angry, it’s actually a good sign. Anger makes things happen. You can channel this well and use the power and momentum to make a difference.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Your truest sense of inner power comes from deep inside you. So you may find it curious how badly you want to possess a certain external status trophy for all to see and envy. Keep this motivation in check and all will be well.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You may have a sense of being locked into your life, but don’t forget that you’re the one who put that safety harness on, and you have the key to it, too. Unlock anytime you wish.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Delegation is an art. Like all art, the way to get good at it is to practice. Keep reaching out. Eventually you’ll become masterful at finding the right person for the job and at the right cost, too.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). This is the perfect moment to examine the way you begin and end the day. A few healthful tweaks to your routine in this regard will move you swiftly toward the life you want for yourself.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21).

Words may escape you. Your brain is running on overdrive to work out problems you may not even be consciously aware of just yet. Don’t worry about what to say. There are many better ways to communicate than talking.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). You’ll be right in the middle of some decidedly unglamorous task when a generous force chips in to help. As if by magic, the whole job will get lighter and the rewards for doing it will get heavier.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). In the art studio of life, seek the larger canvas. Your ideas will be big or they’ll be small but plentiful. Either way, you’ll have more than enough creativity to fill up the whole thing with color.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). New discoveries are all well and good, but if you can’t integrate them into your daily life they will quickly fade from memory. That’s why it will be important to act right away on what you learn.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19).

You’re too practical to build your day around your hopes for creativity, romance, fun and pleasure. You’re also too practical not to realize that getting more of these things in your life is only going to make it fuller and longer.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). There are forgotten or newfound treasures lurking in your closets, kitchen drawers, garage ... anywhere you would go to store excess stuff will wind up being lucky for you today.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). It’s one of those rare days in which the way you see yourself happens to be perfectly in line with the way other people see you.

There are multiple ways to benefit from this dynamic. Don’t waste it!
