Instructions
- For the Marinade:
- 1. Whisk together the soy sauce, olive oil, vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, honey, mustard, garlic, hot sauce and seasonings in a small bowl. Whisk until smooth.
- 2. Add the flank steak to a wide pan or into a large plastic baggie and pour the marinade over it. Be sure to cover the steak. Massage the marinade into the steak with your hands.
- 3. Marinate the flank steak for at least 1 hour, or overnight for more flavor penetration. You can marinate up to 24 hours.
- For Grilling:
- 4. Heat a grill to medium-high heat and lightly oil the grates.
- 5. Remove the flank steak from the marinade and discard the marinade. Grill the flank steak for 3-4 minutes, then flip and grill another 3-5 minutes, or until done to your desired doneness.
- 6. Remove the flank steak from the grill and set onto a plate or cutting board. Cover with aluminum foil and let it rest for 10 minutes.
- 7. Slice against the grain and serve.
Perfect for skirt steak as well. Marinating time can range from 1 hour to 24 hours for deeper flavor penetration. Always slice against the grain for tender results.
