Follow The Directions

01

Step
2 mins

In a mixing bowl, whisk together soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, and minced garlic. (2 minutes)

02

Step
3 mins

Pour the mixture into a resealable plastic bag. Add the flank steak, ensuring it's fully coated in the marinade. Squeeze out any excess air and seal the bag tightly. (3 minutes)

03

Step
8 hrs

Marinate the flank steak in the refrigerator for at least 8 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to fully penetrate the meat. (8-12 hours)

04

Step
10 mins

When ready to cook, preheat an outdoor grill to medium heat and lightly oil the grill grate to prevent sticking. (10 minutes)

05

Step
2 mins

Remove the flank steak from the marinade and gently shake off any excess liquid. Discard the remaining marinade. (2 minutes)

06

Step
14 mins

Place the steak on the preheated grill and cook for approximately 7 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 140 degrees F (60 degrees C) for medium doneness. Use an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of the steak to check for accuracy. (14 minutes)

07

Step
10 mins

Remove the flank steak from the grill and let it rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing. This allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in a more tender and flavorful steak. (10 minutes)

08

Step

Slice the flank steak thinly against the grain to maximize tenderness. Serve immediately and enjoy!

For an extra layer of flavor, add a tablespoon of Dijon mustard and a teaspoon of smoked paprika to the marinade.
If you don't have an outdoor grill, you can also cook the flank steak in a cast-iron skillet on the stovetop or under the broiler in your oven.
Serve with a side of grilled vegetables, a fresh salad, or your favorite potato dish for a complete and satisfying meal.

    I added a little bit of brown sugar to the marinade for a touch of sweetness. It was a hit!
