Place flank steak in gallon size ziploc bag. Combine ingredients of marinade and pour over flank steak. Marinate overnight (or as much time as you have!).

In a separate bowl mix:

1 cup flour

Melt in a 9x13 baking pan:

Pour dough mixture over melted butter. Spoon peaches over dough. I added 1 box of fresh raspberries with the peaches. Place pan back in oven and bake for 35 minutes, until golden brown. I checked it after 35 min and added time at 5 minute intervals until cooked. (I cooked it 45 minutes) Serve hot with vanilla ice cream. You can also substitute blackberries for peaches.
