An extremely flavorful marinade for grilled flank steak. After grilling, slice the steak thin and served with a salad. Leftovers can be used for tacos, fajitas and variety of meals. See the end of this post for meal suggestions.
"*" See Kitchen Notes for more information or links to special ingredients.
Prepare the grill. Start with a high heat and let the grill heat about 15 minutes. Right before placing the steak on the grill, reduce to medium. (We use a gas grill.)
Grill 6 to 8 minutes per side depending on the thickness of the flank. We like it medium rare so we shoot for 6 to 7 minutes*.
Grilling time – Because we know that we’ll have leftovers, we cook the meat so that the thicker section is a little rarer than we normally like it. For the first meal, we use the two ends of the steak which are cooked perfect. This way, when we reheat the steak for the next meal, we don’t overcook it and it doesn’t get tough. (Overcooked flank steak is tough so we always shoot for medium rare.)
To store the leftover steak, place in a covered glass dish.
To reheat, move the container from the fridge to the microwave and cook on high for 2 minutes.
