I am in love with Guy Fieri, his show, Diners, Drive-ins and Dive, is about the only show on the Food Network that I watch. I love his style, his personality and I just relate to him. A funny fact! His 2 sons are Ryder and Hunter. I have a Hunter and Landon… well his name was going to be Ryder until we changed it at last minute. Seriously I think that is awesome that we like the same kids names. And Tattoos. I have such a crush on him! Le sigh.
Now I got to review his new cookbook called Guy Fieri Food and I am in love. It’s nice, because it’s not just the recipes. There are great tips and tricks. Before you even start getting into a recipe he takes you through his thought process of how that recipe came to be. Plus there are lots of pictures of the tattoos and just him. It’s a cookbook that is unlike any other. It’s perfect for me!
The cookbook will be out on May 1st and you can pre-order on the Food Network and also on Amazon.
I’m going to be sharing a few recipes with you as I’m trying them out in the book. The first one is the Bloody Mary Flank Steak.
- 1 cup vegetable juice (recommended: V-8)
- ½ cup vodka
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon hot sauce
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- ½ tablespoon crushed garlic
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon celery seed
- 1 tablespoon prepared horseradish
- 4 tablespoons olive oil
- 1-pound flank steak
- Thoroughly mix all the ingredients except for the flank steak in a big bowl. Pour half of the marinate into a 1-gallon zip lock bag.Before you add the flank steak, to the bag, make sure you stab if all over with a fork so the marinate really gets in there. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 8 and up to 24 hours. Now with the other half of the marinate you are going to want to cook it for 10-15 minutes until it reduces to half and than store it in the fridge for a sauce when you cook it.
- Preheat the grill to high or heat a skillet over high heat. Remove the flank steak from the marinade and wipe the excess liquid off with paper towels. Grill or pan sear both sides for 3 minutes, then lower heat to medium and cook to medium rare about 8 to 10 minutes.
- Let the flanks steak rest, covered in foil for 5 to 10 minutes. Cut on the bias against the grain and serve with the sauce if you want.
I felt like a real chef with this meal! So easy, so beautiful. My husband said that he could see this steak in a restaurant. So first recipe down. I am excited for the next one I’m going to choose out of the cookbook. Which has 150 recipes in it. 149 more great recipes to go. So excited!

My husband would love this recipe. If it has Worcestershire sauce and horseradish, he’s all for it.
Well he’ll be in love than! I loved it and I hate horseradish lol.
whoever stumbled this before me tagged it as ecommerce- or maybe that was just there? Lol, actually, men in ecommerce would love this manly meal.
Argh thanks for pointing that out! Hopefully if it gets changed it’ll get some traffic. I was wondering why it wasn’t exploding. Thought it was a great recipe!
Oh this is my kind of meal!!! YUM!
Well I hope you make it! It’s so easy!
sounds yummy as long as someone else is cooking it!!
I also love Guy Fieri and Diners, Drive-Ins & Dives. I also love Bloody Marys and steak, so I’m sure I will love this recipe! Thanks for posting it.
looks super good!
