Best Smokedgrilled Ultimate Flank Steak Recipes

THE ULTIMATE FLANK STEAK - THE ORIGINAL RECIPE

Steps:

• This steak is best served with the center red/pink, it is at it's most tender state at that point.
• Place steak in sealable plastic bag.
• Add remaining ingredients, except butter, and place in refrigerator for 6 to 12 hours to marinate.
• Turn bag over at least four times during marination.
• Grill over hot hardwood coals, basting frequently with marinade, for about 8-10 minutes a side.
• Check for doneness.
• When done cut steak on diagonal across the grain.
• Serve with remaining marinade that has been heated to a boil with butter added.
• The flavors can be intensified by using your favorite smoking chips on the cooking coals (I use sassafras, hickory, or apple).
• Leftovers make excellent sandwiches when topped with bacon, tomato and melted cheese (Swiss, Cheddar, Smoked Gouda or Blue) and remaining marinade drizzled on top.
• I store the leftovers in the marinade to keep the steak moist and flavorful.

SMOKED/GRILLED ULTIMATE FLANK STEAK

Steps:

• Place flank steak in sealable plactic bag and add remaining ingredients. Note: Soy sauce will (naturally) make the marinade more salty.
• Rub marinade into steak and marinate for 6 to 12 hours. Turn bag over at least four times during marination.
• If grilling: Grill or broil flank steak over hot hardwood coals for about 8-10 minutes a side.
• If smoking: Heat the smoker to 250 degrees F and smoke until tender. For 3 flank steaks (essentially double/triple the recipe), smoke for 1 1/2 hours.
• When done, slice the flank steaks across the grain in thin strips.

GRILLED FLANK STEAK

Steps:

• Make the marinade: Combine the canola oil, vinegar, mustard, garlic, oregano, parsley, rosemary and Worcestershire sauce in a food processor; season with salt and pepper. Pulse until the garlic and herbs are incorporated in the oil.
• Place the steak in a resealable plastic bag. Pour the marinade over the steak and marinate in the refrigerator at least 30 minutes or overnight.
• Make the sauce: Remove the steak from the bag and pour the marinade into a small pan. Bring the marinade to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer and cook until thickened, 2 to 3 minutes.
• Preheat a grill to high and oil the grates. Grill the steak 3 to 5 minutes per side for medium rare. Transfer to a cutting board and let rest 5 to 7 minutes, then slice against the grain. Serve with the herb sauce.

GRILLED FLANK STEAK

Steps:

• Mix oil, lemon juice, garlic, minced onion, flavor enhancer, salt, pepper, sugar, dry mustard, rosemary, and ginger together in a glass jar. Place flank steak in a zip-top bag and add marinade. Refrigerate for 4 hours.
• Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate.
• Remove flank steak from the marinade and shake off excess. Discard the remaining marinade.
• Cook on the preheated grill, turning once, until firm and slightly pink in the center, 5 to 8 minutes per side. Slice on a diagonal across the grain to serve.
