Flank Steak is great for fajitas, salads or just served on their own. It’s also one of the best least expensive cuts of meat and when marinated can blow away a good filet at a fraction of the cost. Works for me!

Instructions
  1. On cutting board, trim excess fat off steaks.
  2. Put the flank steaks in a large, heavy-duty zip lock plastic bag
  3. Pour 1 cup marinade over the flank steaks and seal the bag, pressing out any air (this allows the marinade to fully coat the meat).
  4. Set aside at room temperature for 1 hour, or refrigerate for up to 2 hours. Turn the bag over every 15 minutes or so, to fully distribute the marinade.
  5. About 15 minutes before broiling, preheat oven to Broil or highest heat setting and slide oven rack closest to heating elements (2-3 inches)
  6. Remove the flank steaks from the marinade and place them side by side on a broiler plan.
  7. Place pan on top rack and broil for 6 minutes on the first side, then turn, brush with the 1/3 cup marinade, and broil 6 minutes longer, or until an instant-read thermometer registers 125 F. (This timing is for medium rare; add a minute or two to each side if you want the meat more well done.) Leave oven door ajar to avoid burning/smoking while keeping your kitchen toasty warm during those cold nights ?
  8. Set aside one of the flank steaks to cool.
  9. Transfer the other flank steak to a cutting board. Let rest for 3 minutes, then slice across the grain into 1/4-inch-thick slices. Serve immediately with choice of side dishes.
  10. Cut the reserved steak in half, wrap in plastic separately, and refrigerate for up to 5 days.
Recipe Notes

Advanced Preparation:

  • Other than marinading flank steaks, no advance prep needed.

Tips, Notes, and Variations:

  • If you’d rather grill, grill on one side for 5 minutes, then turn and cook for about 4 minutes on the second side, or until an instant-read thermometer registers 125 F.
