This is a recipe that I got from my oldest son when he was a student at Purdue University in their Hospitality and Tourism program. This is the flank steak recipe that is served in the restaurant at the Student Union. Marinating time not included. This also works well on other cuts of steak.

Categories     Steak

Time 25m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

1/4 cup fresh lime juice
1/4 cup gluten-free soy sauce
2 tablespoons water
1 teaspoon garlic, minced
1/2 teaspoon sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 -2 lb flank steak

Steps:

  • Combine all ingredients except steak in a small bowl.
  • Mix well to combine.
  • Place flank steak in a large zip top bag.
  • Add marinade ingredients.
  • Refrigerate 8 hours or overnight.
  • When ready to cook, remove from marinade and discard marinade.
  • Grill 5 minutes per side.
  • Allow to rest 5-10 minutes after grilling before slicing.

Tips:

  • To select the best flank steak, look for a piece that has a uniform thickness and a deep red color. Avoid steaks that are thin or have a lot of marbling.
  • To tenderize the flank steak, you can marinate it for at least 30 minutes or up to overnight. Use a marinade that contains acidic ingredients, such as citrus juice or vinegar, as well as herbs and spices. Another option is to pound the steak with a meat mallet or the back of a heavy knife.
  • When grilling the flank steak, cook it over high heat for a short period of time. This will help to create a nice crust on the outside while keeping the inside tender and juicy. Aim for an internal temperature of 135 degrees Fahrenheit for medium-rare or 145 degrees Fahrenheit for medium.
  • Let the flank steak rest for a few minutes before slicing it against the grain. This will help to keep the juices in the steak.
  • Serve the flank steak with your favorite sides, such as grilled vegetables, mashed potatoes, or rice.

Conclusion:

Flank steak is a delicious and versatile cut of beef that can be grilled, roasted, or pan-fried. It is a great option for a quick and easy weeknight meal or for a special occasion dinner. By following these tips, you can cook a perfect flank steak every time.
