I came across this recipe online when i was looking for ways to cook meat (other than fish) with cedar planks. i enjoyed this recipe, but to be honest, it would have been good without the cedar planks too.

Steps

Soak at least 4 hours or overnight.
Meanwhile , mix dressing , onions , parsley , cilantro , garlic and red pepper.

Refrigerate at least 2 hours to marinate.
Preheat barbecue to high heat.
Remove steak from marinade.
Discard bag and marinade.
Grill steak 3 minute on each side.
