Marinated Flank Steak


So if we are going to eat steak we usually eat Flank Steak because we all just love it but also because its affordable too. (New York Steaks will always be my favorite, but have you seen the prices lately, Ouch!) Flank to me is a marinating steak and this recipe is our favorite marinade for flank. We slice thin and use the steak in many meals from wraps to sandwiches to salads to you name it.....We actually just made this for Mother's Day, so good.....You can make it with out fresh herbs and it tastes just as good, but I will throw the fresh herbs in if I have them.....More flavor.....I have been known to use this same marinade with out the herbs for Shish-Kabobs....

Serves 4-6 (depends on who you have to dinner!)

1/2 C Vegetable or Canola oil
1/3 C Soy sauce
2 T Worcestershire Sauce
1/4 C Red Wine Vinegar
1 T Dijon Mustard
3-4 Garlic Cloves, minced
Juice of 1 Lemon
1 tsp ground black pepper
2-4 T Chopped Fresh Herbs, I usually have Basil or Parsley
1 1/2 pounds Flank Steak

In a medium bowl, mix the oil, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, vinegar, mustard, garlic, lemon juice, ground black pepper and herbs. Place Steak in large plastic bag or glass pan and pour marinade over the meat. Seal the bag or cover the steak and marinate for 6-7 hours. (if you marinate in a shallow glass dish, be sure to flip the steak halfway through marinating)

Preheat grill for medium-high heat. Oil the grill grate. Place steak on the grill, and discard the marinade. Grill meat for 4-5 minutes per side, or to desired doneness. Let it rest for 5-7 minutes. Slice and serve......
