eliquis can cause serious and in rare cases fatal bleeding. don't take eliquis if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. if you had a spinal injection while on eliquis call your doctor right away if you have tingling, numbness, or muscle weakness. while taking eliquis, you may bruise more easily... and it may take longer than usual for bleeding to stop. seek immediate medical care for sudden signs of bleeding, like unusual bruising. eliquis may increase your bleeding risk y tell your doctor about all planned medical or dental procedures. eliquis treats dvt and pe blood clots. plus had less major bleeding. both made eliquis right for me. ask your doctor if switching to eliquis is right for you.

installing his influence as the king of logistics, leaving everyone wondering what he will disrupt next. when amazon moves into the neighborhood, it usually means a seismic shift for consumers and retailers. >> amazon coming in here, shaking things up. it will be good for the consumer. it will be a better experience in stores and maybe over time lower prices. >> reporter: but amazon's purchase of whole foods has traditional retailers, from big chains to mom and pop stores, we thinking their own future. the convenience of ordering online is placing new burdens on smaller, independent stores, as amazon delivers everything, from toiletries to clothing to electronics in just a click. 100,000 retail workers have lost their jobs since october. and 25% of malls are expected to close by 2022. as shopping migrates to your phone and laptop, amazon is already dominating nearly half of all online shoppin ingping.

and its porch of whole foods is expecting to put new pressure on the grocery industry, to innovate or perish. john mackey telling his employees after the deal was announced, i think we're going to see a lot of technology. i think you'll see whole foods markets evolve in leaps and pounds. perhaps, stores without checkouts or cashiers, where your every move is tracked by artificial technology and ail go rhythms. >> you have to offer customers op demanding now. >> reporter: and this week, amazon introducing its prime wardrobe service, delivered to your doorstep. just the latest retail disruption. >> amazon's record of dominance sends a shutter of concern through the supermarket industry. country's internet grocer. but they say they welcome healthy competition. and that there's plenty of

fastened properly in the carrier. he said, i made a mistake. my favorite of all-time, though, kelly clarkson. >> oh, nutella. she posted this picture-her daughter chowing down. nutella is packed with sugar. giving food is like child abuse. that's what they wrote to her. my favorite is kelly's response. this is what she did. a few days later, she posted this image of her son's first birthday, inhaling birthday cake. >> like a kid should. >> it's ridiculous. >> but sometimes it's not just people 's lnee family members. husbands, wives, saying why don't you do it like that? >> what's that instinct that you put a picture up and somebody wants to say -- scrutinize and look for what you've done wrong. what's that what about? >> people feel proprior tear. if al does weather, i'll get 100 -- i see your head behind

we're going to do a post marinade. we're going to have balsamic and add in olive oil. this is adding flavor after the dish. really easy. garlic and a pinch of salt. we can whisk that up. and we're going to set that off to the side. and after the flank steak is cooked, we're going to put that on. >> what are we putting on the flank steak before the grill? >> we're going to add some black pepper. and some fresh thyme. you can sprinkle that on. >> do you do both sides? >> i'm going to do one side right now. >> okay. >> you can do this four hours ahead. you can do it overnight. cover it. stick it in the refrigerator. and then, this has been preseasoned. >> all right. >> all we need to do right now is just brush this with a little olive oil. >> you left this overnight? >> yes. this is left overnight. and this has already been done. so, brush with olive oil so it doesn't stick. and then, we have to hit it with salt. usually i do it half a teaspoon

dry. and this will ensure it gets a lot of flavor. easy. cover this. we want meat to rest for five or ten minutes because you want the juices to redistribute. >> yeah. >> after it's been resting, now, we have to cut. you can see the grain in the meat. it's very tempting to cut with the grain. we're not going to do that because that is a rookie move. >> okay. >> we're going to cut against the grain. >> are you following this? you know this. >> rookie move. >> no rookies here. superkey to cut against the grain, nice and thinly. >> what happens if you cut with the grain? >> too chewy. >> got it. >> we got that over there. we're going to move on to the next dish. these go really well together. i think putting the flank on a bed of arugula, meal done. supereasy. we got some eggplant here, which is a great summer vegetable. so great on the grill. i like to sweat them out first.

>> what does that mean? >> you're going to put a little salt on top. and the eggplant actually starts to sweat. the salt pulls moisture out. you get some of the bitterness out. and it softens them up a little bit. 30 minutes. once you start to see the beading on top, you can rinse them off in the sink or just wipe them with a paper towel. >> you put salt on and they start sweating? >> totally. it's like a miracle. >> i know people like that. >> these have been sweated out. brush with olive oil. the eggplant will just soak up the oil. you want to do it on both sides, like this. >> and you got the same grill pan. >> same grill pan. you can hit it with salt and pepper. >> all right. >> just take these and put them on. >> yep. >> the key here, no more than half an inch thick. >> okay. >> how do you like the eggplant, everybody? >> we're doing really well here. >> we are. >> it's easy to keep eggplant like soggy. like spongey and tough.

and that makes me want to cry. it can be delicious. >> you have accoutrements for t the top. >> this is the key stuff. this will keep them nice and soft. what we've done here is we've drizzled this with pomegranate molasses. if you don't have prom pomegranate molasses. if you don't have pine nuts, use pistachios. >> a little crunch there. thank you so much. we got the recipes from her cookbook on our website, today.com/food. check it out. we're back in a moment. this is "today" on nbc.
