This flavorful teriyaki-style marinade is one of our all-time favorites for summer grilling. A perfect balance of soy, honey, garlic, and ginger tenderizes the steak while infusing it with savory-sweet depth. After a quick char on the grill, the result is juicy, melt-in-your-mouth flank steak that’s perfect for backyard barbecues, family dinners, or entertaining. Easy to prepare and always a crowd-pleaser, this recipe guarantees tender slices bursting with flavor.
INGREDIENTS:
3/4 cup vegetable oil
1/4 cup soy sauce
1/4 cup honey
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
2 tablespoons green onions, chopped
2 large garlic cloves, minced
2 teaspoons ginger root, peeled and finely minced
1 or 2 large flank steaks, about 1 1/2 lbs. each
METHOD:
Whisk all ingredients together. Reserve 1/4 cup marinade and set aside.
Place flank steaks in a large zipper-top plastic bag and pour marinade over the steak. Allow steaks to marinate for at least 4 hours or more in the refrigerator, turning every half hour or so.
Remove steaks from the marinade and wipe them dry with paper towels. Grill steaks over hot coals, turning once until done, about 5 minutes on each side for medium-rare. Use reserved marinade to baste the meat during the last five minutes of cooking.
Remove steaks from the grill and allow to sit for 5 minutes before carving. Carve into thin slices, cutting on the diagonal.
YIELD: 4 – 8 servings
