It may look like a sad little package shoved in the back of your freezer, but frozen spinach actually has a lot of culinary uses (and some may surprise you).

Flank steak with cilantro and lime will have you in South American meat heaven. A marinade, a quick trip to the grill, and you're good to go. Can you imagine tacos made with this?
1 bunch cilantro, washed and dried
2 tablespoons whole black peppercorns
4 cloves garlic
1 cup vegetable oil
1 1/4 pound flank steak
2 limes
salt
In a blender puree cilantro including stems, peppercorns, garlic and vegetable oil until smooth and peppercorns are no longer whole. Reserve half of the cilantro mixture. Place steak in a shallow pan and cover with other half of the mixture. Allow to marinate for 15 minutes at room temperature.
Meanwhile preheat a grill or grill pan to medium high heat. Juice limes and mix in with reserved cilantro marinade along with a couple pinches of salt. Adjust seasoning if necessary. After 15 minutes season steak on both sides with salt. Transfer steak to hot grill. Grill for 3-4 minutes per side for medium to medium-rare.
Transfer to a platter and let sit for 10 minutes before slicing. Serve with reserved cilantro sauce.
