Marinated Flank Steak

Flank steak is kind of magical for the surface area it provides in opportunities to marinade.  This recipe always reminds me of summertime grilling. 

Flank Steak Ingredients

INGREDIENTS

  • 1/2 cup of soy sauce
  • 1/3 cup of olive oil
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • Tablespoon of ginger, minced
  • Tablespoon of cilantro, chopped
  • One teaspoon of salt
  • Quarter of teaspoon of black pepper
  • 1-1/2 pounds of flank steak
  • Half ounces of lime juice
  • 3 scallions, thinly sliced
 
 
Flank Steak Marinade

Mix together all ingredients but the lime juice.  Set aside 1/3 of the mixture and add the lime juice.  The limey mixture will be used after the meat is cooked.  

Flank Steak Marinade 2

 Add the 2/3 non-lime mixture to a plastic bag along with the flank steak and marinade 2 or more hours or overnight.

When the grill is heated to around 450, place the steak on the grill and close the lid.  Cook for around 4 minutes, or until charred marks are visible on the steak.  Flip the steak and cook 2-5 minutes more, or until your preferred doneness is achieved. I like mine medium rare. You can check the inside temperature with meat thermometer. For medium-rare cooked it should be around 130 degrees F.

Place the meat on a cutting board. Tent with foil and leave it to rest for about 10 minutes.

After resting, slice the steak and pour the marinade you’ve previously left over the flank steak. Enjoy!
