A classic for summer grilling season. 🥩

This June Flank Steak recipe from the Spindletop Cooks Cookbook is simple, flavorful, and perfect for Father’s Day weekend or any backyard gathering.

Flank Steak
• ¼ cup vegetable oil of choice
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• ½ teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 teaspoon celery salt
• 1 flank steak

Pierce flank steak with a fork. Mix the ingredients above and marinate for at least 2 hours, but do not add salt. Cook on a hot BBQ grill for no more than 6 minutes on each side. Slice on an angle into thin slices and serve with salt to taste.

Through Spindletop Connections, companies across the energy industry can turn a desire to give back into meaningful, hands-on service.

Created to meet the growing interest in team volunteer opportunities, Spindletop Connections serves as a bridge between sponsor companies and nonprofit partners, helping plan impactful events that align with each company’s values and community goals.

This past Connections event at Bo's Place is a wonderful example of what the program is all about: bringing teams together to support organizations making a difference for Houston’s youth and families.

What are you hoping to learn this summer? ☀️

As students head into a new season of curiosity, creativity, and discovery, we’re throwing it back to last year’s Summer of STEM and the hands-on moments that helped bring learning to life.

From problem-solving to exploring new ideas, programs like these remind us how powerful it can be when children are given the opportunity to learn, grow, and imagine what’s possible.

We’re excited for another year of inspiring Houston’s next generation. Details to come!
