Servings 6 servings
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 lb marinated flank steak (use any of your favourite marinades or see above for recipes)
Instructions
- After the steaks have been marinated, and you're ready to grill, preheat your barbecue to high heat.
- Brush the grill with a little bit of oil, then add the steak, sear it on both sides, then turn down the heat to medium, and cook each side about 3-4 minutes, so roughly 8-10 minutes total. We like ours slightly pink inside, so if you prefer yours more well done, just cook it a little longer.
- Flank steak is best cooked to an internal temperature of 125-130 degrees F for medium-rare steak, or 135-145 degrees F for medium. Try not to overcook the steak as it can become quite tough if it's cooked past medium.
- Note: marinated flank steaks will flare the first time you set them on the grill, so be prepared for that. This does leave a nice char!
- Once the steak is done remove it from the barbecue, cover with aluminum foil and let the steak rest or about 5 minutes before you slice and serve it.
- Place the steak on to a cutting board with a layer of sheets of paper towels under the board to catch any juices.
- When slicing flank steak, the best way is to make sure to cut against the grain of the meat.
- Serve immediately.
