This is a quick marinade made with items you likely have in your pantry already. The flank steak is a tougher form of meat but when marinaded properly it becomes quite tender. It is actually a leaner beef cut and is great when grilled to medium-rare or medium.
TIPS: This steak needs to be marinated at least 4 hours but can be marinated all day up to 8 hours. Be sure to slice it very thin, across the grain, to serve.
Soy Marinated Flank Steak
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 lb Flank Steak
- 1/3 C soy sauce
- 3 Tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1 Tbsp balsamic vinegar
- 2 Tbsp vegetable oil
- 3-4 cloves garlic minced
- 1 tsp sugar
- 1/2 tsp pepper
Instructions
- Lightly score the top of the flank steak in a crosshatch pattern, being careful not to cut too deeply into the meat.
- In a large ziplock bag, or a shallow pan large enough to fit the steak, whisk together all the remaining ingredients. Place the steak in the marinade and coat all over with marinade. Refrigerate steak for at least 4 hours, or up to 8 hours.
- Preheat the grill. Remove steak from marinade and dispose of the extra marinade. Grill the steak until medium rare, about 5 minutes a side, and the internal temperature is about 125 degrees. Remove from heat and let rest for at least 10 minutes. Slice steak in very thin slices across the grain.
- Enjoy!
