Marinated Flank Steak
Introduction
Flank steak is lean, affordable and flavorful, but it's often tough. Marinade it and cut against the grain to keep it as tender as it is tasty!
Ingredients
1/2 cup salsa
1 clove of garlic, minced
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 lime
1 flank steak (about 1 lb)
1 clove of garlic, minced
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 lime
1 flank steak (about 1 lb)
Directions
1. Put the salsa, garlic, olive oil, and the juice of the lime in a zip top plastic bag. Shake around to mix ingredients.
2. Add the flank steak to the bag. Seal the bag while pressing out as much air as possible. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours.
3. When ready to cook, remove the steak from the bag, discarding marinade.
4. Grill or broil the flank steak to medium or medium rare. Don't overcook - flank steak can get very tough and unappetizing if overcooked.
5. Let it rest for 10 minutes, and slice the meat against the grain into thin slices.
Serves 4.
