This is a fabulous method of cooking flank steak. If not prepared properly, it tends to be a little tough. This steak is full of flavor and super tender.

Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 c merlot or cabernet
3/4 c red wine vinegar
1/4 c sesame oil
1/2 c olive oil, extra virgin
4 Tbsp garlic, chopped
3 Tbsp fresh ginger, coarsely chopped
3 tsp thyme, leaves (substitue 1 tsp. dried)
1 tsp cracked black pepper
1/2 tsp coarse sea salt
2 lb beef flank steaks

Steps:

  • 1. Combine all marinade ingredients in a bowl, whisking to emulsify.
  • 2. Place the marinade in two separate gallon-sized Ziploc bags. Add one flank steak to each bag. Zip bags closed and shake to evenly coat the meat. Then place in a metal pan and into the fridge. Marinate the steak overnight turning several times to evenly coat the meat.
  • 3. Preheated the grill to medium-high heat (375 F).
  • 4. First sear the flank steak on each side, approximately 1-2 minutes per side.
  • 5. Continue cooking 6 minutes per side, turning once.
  • 6. When the internal temperature reaches desired doneness, remove from grill and rest of at least 8-10 minutes under a piece of aluminum foil tented over the top. Resting allows the juices to pull back into the meat before carving.
