Tips:

  • Choose the right flank steak: Look for a flank steak that is about 1 1/2 to 2 inches thick and has good marbling. This will ensure that the steak is tender and flavorful.
  • Marinate the steak: Marinating the steak in a flavorful marinade will help to tenderize it and infuse it with flavor. Be sure to marinate the steak for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight.
  • Grill the steak over high heat: This will help to sear the steak and lock in the juices. Be sure to cook the steak for only a few minutes per side, or until it reaches your desired doneness.
  • Let the steak rest before slicing: This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the steak, resulting in a more tender and flavorful steak.
  • Slice the steak against the grain: This will help to make the steak more tender and easier to chew.

Grilled orange flank steak is a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for a weeknight dinner or a special occasion.
