Steak (Flank) Marinade
Flank steak is a lean, flavorful cut of meat that is delicious when marinated. The salt and acidity of a marinade can help tenderize the meat in addition to providing extra flavor. It's not a necessity, but it is recommended. If you want to marinade a flank steak, do so for only a couple of hours, as an overnight marinade may begin to scorch the thin cuts.
This flank steak marinade is a sweet and savory blend of olive oil, garlic, soy sauce, brown sugar and spices. It produces tender and juicy marinated flank steak every time.
Ingredients
3/4 cup low sodium soy sauce1/4 cup olive oil
1/4 cup packed brown sugar
1 tablespoon cider vinegar
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
1/2 teaspoon ground pepper
2 teaspoons garlic chopped
1 1/2 to 2 pounds flank steak (When making fajitas, I slice the meat first, then put it in the bag of marinade.)
Instructions
1, Combine the soy sauce, olive oil, brown sugar, cider vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, mustard and pepper in a resealable bag; seal and shake to combine.2. Reserve 2 tablespoons of the marinade for later use. Stir the garlic into the bag of marinade.
3. Add the steak and marinate for 2-24 hours.
4. Heat an outdoor grill or stove top grill pan to medium-high. Place the steak on the grill and cook for 5-6 minutes per side, depending on the thickness of your meat and the desired level of doneness.
5. Remove the meat from grill and cover with foil. Let stand for 5-10 minutes and then slice thinly against the grain with a very sharp knife. Drizzle with reserved marinade, then serve.
