The Ultimate Marinade for Tender, Flavorful Flank Steak

Ingredients


  • 1 1/2 pound flank steak
  • 1/3 cup low-sodium soy sauce
  • 1/4 cup canola oil
  • 3 tablespoons honey



  • 1 tablespoon minced garlic
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons grated fresh ginger
  • 2 teaspoons chili powder


  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper

Instructions

  1. Prepare the steak: Pat dry and lightly score the surface in a crisscross pattern.
  2. Make the marinade: Whisk together all marinade ingredients in a bowl.
  3. Marinate: Place the steak in a zip-top bag with the marinade. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, up to 24 hours.
  4. Cook: Remove the steak from the marinade and discard the marinade. Grill over high heat or broil in the oven until the internal temperature reaches 130 degrees F.
  5. Rest and serve: Let the steak rest for 10 minutes before slicing thinly against the grain.



Tips

  • Score the meat to help the marinade penetrate deeper.
  • Don’t marinate for more than 24 hours, as the steak will become too tender.

  • Use an instant-read thermometer to check the internal temperature for perfect doneness.
  • Let the steak rest before slicing to retain juices.
