This warm farro salad is easy to prepare and holds up very well. The cooked farro gets topped with a delicious dijon vinaigrette when it is still hot, so it soaks in a ton of wonderful flavor. It can be eaten warm, at room temperature or chilled. The recipe makes a nice amount, so you'll be sure to have leftovers to pack in your lunch. It will also be a great dish to take on picnics or to summer barbecue parties! I hope you will love it!

Instructions
Grilled Flank Steak & Marinade:
Combine all ingredients in zip top bag.
Add steak, zip bag closed while squeezing out excess air. "Smush" the ingredients all around the steak to make sure they're well distributed.
Marinate in the refrigerator for 6 hours or overnight. Turn the bag once in a while.
Pre-heat grill to high heat. Remove steak from marinade and allow any excess to drip off.
Grill steak for about 5 minutes on one side.
Reduce grill heat to medium, turn steak over and continue to cook for about 5 minutes or until internal temperature measures about 137 degrees F. with an instant read thermometer or to desired doneness.
Remove steak to a platter, tent with foil and allow to rest 10-15 minutes.
Thinly slice the steak across the grain.
Drizzle with a few tablespoons Dijon Vinaigrette before serving.
