Marinated Flank Steak *****

Marinated Flank Steak
- Jenelle Nelson

This is a super yummy recipe that we fall back onto a lot! Flank Steak is cheapest (and a very good quality) when you buy it at CostCo. Usually it’s 5.99/lb. here. You can mix the marinade and throw it with the meat into a plastic bag in the freezer. It will be marinating the whole time it’s frozen, so it’s ready when you want it. Because you can freeze it in the marinade, I usually buy 2 packs of flank steak at CostCo and then it’s on hand in my freezer.

Marinade:

2 cloves garlic, crushed
½ c. veg. oil
½ c. soy sauce
¼ c ketchup
1 T red wine vinegar
pepper

Marinate the steak in the fridge, turning twice a day, for at least 24 hours and up to 2 days.

Cook on medium-low heat on grill, about 8-10 minutes per side, depending on thickness of meat. (You can also broil it inside) When you take it off the grill, DO NOT CUT IT. Put some tin foil over it, and Let it rest for 10-15 minutes. This lets the juices seep back in. Now you can cut it. It will be juicy since you let it rest before you cut it.
