Gorgeous Marinated Flank Steak

The name....I know.  What else am I suppose to call it?  Any ideas, let me know.  However, it is gorgeous.  It looked even more gorgeous on the plate with the rest of the other gorgeous food.
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.
