Tips:

  • Make sure the marinade has enough time to work its magic: The marinade will help to tenderize the steak and infuse it with flavor. Marinate the steak for at least 4 hours, or overnight if possible.
  • Don't overcook the steak: Flank steak is a thin cut of beef that can easily be overcooked. Cook the steak over high heat for 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.
  • Serve the steak with your favorite sides: Marinated flank steak is a versatile dish that can be served with a variety of sides. Some popular options include mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, and salad.
