One of my favorite and healthiest meals is barbequed flank steak. It's a relatively inexpensive cut of beef, but using the below marinade you will have a juicy, tender steak. I usually marinate the meat for several hours, but if you're short on time, two hours should be enough. Be sure to make fork punctures or little slits in the meat before marinating to allow marinade to penetrate the meat. I put the marinade in a ziplock bag, then put the steak in, turning it every hour or so.
A perfect meal for me is a few slices of barbequed flank steak, fingerling potatoes (recipe some other time) and a big salad with my homemade ranch dressing (I've posted the dressing recipe). I like a salad with a little mixed lettuce and lots of veggies. I make a homemade 3 bean salad (no sugar) and homemade pickled beets, cherry tomatoes, radishes, cucumbers and whatever else you want to throw in there. Delish.
Grilled Marinated Flank Steak Recipe
Ingredients
Marinade Ingredients
1/3 cup olive oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 Tbsp red wine vinegar
1/3 cup soy sauce
1/4 cup honey
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Other ingredients
2 pounds flank steak
Kosher salt
Freshly ground pepper
How do you tell when your steak is done? I like a rare steak, so usually 2 minutes on each side, at high heat to seal in juices is just perfect. Push meat with your finger, and there should be some give to the meat. Remove from grill, allow meat to rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing. Be sure to slice thin slices on the diagonal. If you don't allow meat to rest, juices will spill out and your meat will be dry. Enjoy this meal. Remember to use the leftover meat (slice it up before putting in the refrigerator) for a wonderful Thai beef salad. (recipe later)
