Ingredients
- •Beef Flank Steak, Boneless(680g)
Instructions
- 1With paper towel, pat the steak dry on both sides. With the tip of a sharp knife, such as a paring knife, lightly score the top of the steak in a diagonal crosshatch pattern. The cuts should be very shallow and placed about 1 1/2 inches apart. Place the steak inside a ziptop bag.
- 2Pour the marinade over the steak. Seal the bag, removing as much air as you can, then turn the steak a few times so it's nicely coated. Place on a plate or in a shallow dish to catch any drips. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or up to 24 hours.
- 3When ready to grill, remove the from the refrigerator and let stand at room temperature for 20 minutes.
- 4Heat a gas or charcoal grill over medium-high heat (425°F to 450°F). Make sure the grates are very clean. Remove the steak from the marinade, shaking off any excess (discard the marinade, it has done its job). Grill the steak until it reaches 130°F on an instant-read thermometer, about 3 to 4 minutes per side depending on its thickness. (This is for medium-rare, which is best for flank steak; if you like your steak more well done, cook it 1 to 2 minutes more, but note this cut of meat will be tough). Transfer to a plate, cover, and let rest for 10 minutes.
- 5Once the steak has rested, use a sharp knife to cut it across the grain into very thin (1/8-inch) slices. Enjoy warm.
