A few tricks
Flank steak is a grainy, flavorful meat that is not naturally tender. There are five tricks to making tender flank steak:
- Physically tenderizing with a kitchen mallet
- Marinating in acid - think citrus, wine or vinegar
- Cook only to medium rare
- Rest 10 minutes before slicing
- Slicing across the grain and cutting down at a diagonal angle

This recipe was delicious! A light flavorful, alternative to flank steak marinade. My family loved it and left-overs were fabulous the next day!! Thanks Kim!
So glad you liked it Jamie. This steak makes a wonderful salad. Add lettuce, mangos and rice noodles, etc… You can double the marinade and reserve half for the dressing and half for the marinade.
