Ingredients

Scale

Marinade Ingredients

  • 120 millilitres vegetable oil
  • 80 millilitres low-sodium soy sauce
  • 60 millilitres red wine vinegar
  • 30 millilitres fresh lemon juice
  • 22 millilitres Worcestershire sauce
  • 15 millilitres Dijon mustard
  • 2 cloves garlic, finely minced
  • 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper

Main Ingredient

  • 680 grams flank steak

Instructions

  1. Prepare Marinade: In a mixing bowl, combine the vegetable oil, low-sodium soy sauce, red wine vinegar, fresh lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, and ground black pepper. Whisk the mixture thoroughly until all ingredients are well blended to create the marinade.
  2. Marinate Flank Steak: Place the flank steak in a 22 x 33-centimetre glass baking dish. Pour the prepared marinade over the steak, turning it multiple times to evenly coat all surfaces. Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 2 to 6 hours. For the best flavor and tenderness, you may marinate it up to 12 hours.
  3. Preheat Grill: Before cooking, preheat your outdoor grill to medium-high heat. Ensure that you lightly oil the grill grate to prevent the steak from sticking during grilling.
  4. Remove and Discard Marinade: Remove the steak from the marinade, allowing excess liquid to drip off. Discard the used marinade to avoid contamination.
  5. Grill Steak: Place the marinated flank steak on the preheated grill. Cook for about 5 minutes on each side, or until your desired level of doneness is reached, monitoring closely to avoid overcooking.
  6. Rest and Slice: Transfer the grilled steak to a cutting board and let it rest for 5 minutes. Resting helps retain the meat’s juices. After resting, slice the steak thinly against the grain to maximize tenderness and serve immediately.

Notes

  • Marinating the steak longer enhances flavor and tenderness, but avoid exceeding 12 hours to prevent texture degradation.
  • For a spicier variation, consider adding crushed red pepper flakes to the marinade.
  • Always slice against the grain to ensure the steak is tender and easy to chew.
  • If grilling is unavailable, the steak can be broiled or pan-seared with similar timing.
  • Allowing the steak to rest after grilling is crucial to keep it juicy.
