Marinated Flank Steak

This steak recipe has been a staple of our's for many years now.  Whenever we see flank steak on sale we get it and make this version.  I personally only like flank steak if it's been marinated at least a few hours, otherwise it tastes really dry and chewy to me.  This recipe ensures that it is flavorful and tender.  You can either grill or broil (depending on the weather!) your steak.

Ingredients for Marinade:

1 teaspoon siracha sauce
1 teaspoon either honey or sugar
Zest of 1 lime
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1/4 cup low sodium soy sauce
1 tablespoon sesame oil
1 tablespoon rice wine vinegar
3 whole garlic cloves

Whisk all the ingredients together in a bowl and then add to a freezer/gallon size Ziploc bag.  Add the steak to the bag, seal, and then massage the marinade into the meat.  Refrigerate at least for 4 hours (preferably overnight, make sure you flip the bag over, so it marinades evenly). 

For cooking- broil or grill steak for about 5-7 minutes on each side for medium rare (of course this all depends on the thickness of the flank steak you cook).  Make sure you let rest for at least 15 minutes before cutting.  When you do cut it, slice it against the grain to make sure it is as tender as possible.  Serve with vegetables and a salad with ginger dressing.
