Ever have unexpected guests arrive for dinner? Even if it’s “just family”, sometimes we have people show up to share a meal that we would love to offer something a little special. Well, this is my go-to meal when I find myself in that situation. Marinated Flank Steak cooked on the grill. And find out how easy it is to turn cheap steak into tender juicy steak.
If you are lucky enough to have at least one day (or even half a day), by all means marinate the steak overnight. If you only have a little bit of notice I would recommend letting it marinate for at least 30 minutes, but honestly I have even made this when it has only had 10 or 15 minutes to “marinate” and it’s still delicious.
Although I consider this more of a “method” than a “recipe”, I’ve put it in recipe form for simplicity’s sake:
Marinated Flank Steak
Ingredients
- 1 – 2 lb piece of flank steak
- Mr. Yoshida’s Marinade and Cooking Sauce (or your favorite asian marinade)
- 1 – 2 teaspoons minced garlic
Directions:
Slice the steak against the grain into approximately 1″ strips.
Put the strips in a resealable bag or container.
Mix 1 to 2 teaspoons of minced garlic into approximately 1/2 cup of marinade and pour over the meat. (These amounts will vary based on how much meat you are preparing.)
I usually use the minced garlic you can find in a jar in the produce section of your grocery store, but fresh would be great too!
Allow to marinate overnight (or as little at 10 to 15 minutes if you are pressed for time!)
Cook on a hot charcoal or gas grill until desired doneness.
By the way, these go GREAT with The Perfect Baked Potato. :-) With this little treasure in your recipe ideas file, the next time you have unexpected company, you will have an easy and impressive dish to share!
