Three Great Flank Steak Marinades
Sarah wanted flank steak for her 30th birthday celebration last weekend, so we made the Teriyaki version. It's a tried and true recipe that I wrote down when visiting Laddie a long time ago. There weren't any leftovers this weekend. Kids love this recipe,too.
But, most likely, if you've been to our cottage and had flank steak, it's usually the Asian Flank Steak recipe. It's one of our most popular recipes.
Plus Tom makes this version, using Whiskey.
Flank steak, although somewhat expensive, works well on the grill and is a crowd-pleaser.
If you have any flank steak marinades that work well for you, please share!!!
Teriyaki Flank Steak
from Laddie -- not sure where she got it
1/2 c. soy sauce
1 clove garlic, minced or pressed
1 t. ground ginger
2 T. firmly packed brown sugar
2 T. lemon juice
2 T. salad oil
1 T. instant minced onion
1/4 t. pepper
1 flank steak (about 1.5 pounds)
Combine all the ingredients and pour over steak, cover, and refrigerate for 6 hours or until the next day. Lift steak from marinade and drain briefly (reserve liquid). Place on lightly greased grill 4 to 6 inches above a solid bed of glowing coals. Cook, turning once and basting with reserve marinade, for about 6 minutes on each side or until done to liking.
To serve, cut meat across the grain into thin, slanting slices.
Serves 4.
