KITTENCAL'S MARINATED GRILLED FLANK STEAK
Plan ahead the steak needs to be marinated for 24 hours --- THIS IS IMPORTANT allow the beef to sit out on the counter until almost room temperature this is a most critical step to relaxe the meat fibers to create the most tender steak, this might take about 3 hours so start this well in advance ---remember to carve the cooked steak at a 35-45 degree angle to insure tender meat :)

Steps:
- In a bowl combine all marinade ingredients until well combined.
- Score the surface of the uncooked steak about 1/4-inch deep across the grain.
- Place the marinade into a large heavy resealable plastic bag then add in the beef.
- Seal bag and toss meat to coat with the marinade.
- Place the bag into a large bowl.
- Refrigerate for 24 hours (tossing the bag a couple of times during the refrigeration time).
- Remove beef from the marinade and allow all the marinade to drip off scraping off the chopped garlic pieces and green onions from the meat.
- Place on a large plate (I use a jelly-roll pan) and allow to sit out on the counter until almost room temperature, this might take about 3 or more hours.
- Preheat grill to high heat.
- Place on grill and season with steak seasoning or fresh ground black pepper and a little salt.
- Grill the meat about 5-6 minutes per side for rare doneness (turning ONLY one time, do not overcook the meat as it will cook a little more after removing from the grill).
- Remove to a plate/s and allow to sit for 10 minutes before slicing.
- Slice the meat across the grain.

Tips:
- Use a sharp knife to score the flank steak against the grain. This will help the marinade penetrate the meat and make it more tender.
- Don't marinate the flank steak for more than 12 hours. Over-marinating can make the meat tough.
- If you're short on time, you can marinate the flank steak for as little as 30 minutes. Just make sure to flip the steak once or twice during the marinating process.
- When you're ready to cook the flank steak, make sure to grill it over high heat. This will help to create a nice crust on the outside of the steak while keeping the inside tender and juicy.
- Let the flank steak rest for a few minutes before slicing it. This will help the juices redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in a more flavorful and tender steak.
Conclusion:
Flank steak is a delicious and versatile cut of meat that can be cooked in a variety of ways. When marinated and cooked properly, flank steak can be a tender and flavorful addition to any meal. Whether you're grilling, pan-frying, or roasting flank steak, be sure to follow these tips for the best results.
