With the bout of fantastic warm weather we've had, I had a deep need for summertime food. This entire meal made that happen. I love a piece of flank....beefy flavour and when you cook it right, it's juicy. Do not over cook a piece of flank (think medium rare) and slice it against the grain on a bias. This ensures wicked awesomeness, as my husband puts it. I also believe in marinating flank. It has tough fibres and the marinating helps to break those down. This marinade I came up with, hits every little spot and will become a staple in this household. It was delish.
p.s. marinate this for at least 4 hours and up to 24.
That screams Summer...
Look at the sheer juciness of it all.....Oh. My. Goodness.
Yep, gorgeous....
Gorgeous Marinated Flank Steak
Serves 2-3
1 - 1 1/2 lb Flank Steak
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1 tbsp honey
2 tbsp Worcestershire
1 tbsp Balsamic vinegar
1 tbsp either Dijon or Grainy Mustard, or a combo
Salt & Pepper
Mix the marinade ingredients together in a shallow dish or large resealable plastic bag. Toss the steak in, soaking both sides and pop in the fridge for 4-24 hours.
Grease the grills on the BBQ. Pre-heat to high. Grill the steak for about 3 minutes per side or until medium rare has been achieved. Remove the steak and let it rest for 5 minutes.
To serve, slice it against the grain thinly and on the bias. Serve with all of it's delicious juices.
