Equipment

  • grill
  • meat thermometer
  • gallon-sized resealable bag or large glass bowl with lid

Ingredients
  

  • 1 1/2-2 pounds flank steak
  • ½ cup vegetable oil
  • ⅓ cup soy sauce (low sodium if you prefer)
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • ¼ cup red wine vinegar
  • 1 ½ tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon red pepper flakes
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced

Instructions
 

  • Whisk all of the marinade ingredients together. Place 2/3 to 3/4 of the marinade into a resealable gallon plastic bag (or use a covered dish). Reserve the remaining marinade to pour over the cooked steak.
  • Add the flank steak to the bag. Squeeze out the air and seal. Shake to coat the meat well. Place it in the refrigerator for 6 hours or overnight. Occasionally, flip the bag so the marinade distributes evenly over the meat.
  • Remove the flank steak from the refrigerator 30 minutes to 1 hour before you plan to grill it. Remove the steak from the bag and pour the marinade into a small bowl for basting the meat during grilling.
  • Heat the grill to 375-400°F. Place the steak on the grill and cook each side for 5 minutes, basting as you go. Then check the temperature with a meat thermometer and use these ranges for the degree of doneness you would like:
    * Rare--120-125°F
    * Medium-rare--130°F
    * Medium--145°F
    If the meat has not reached the desired temperature for the doneness you want, flip it and cook it for 1-2 more minutes. Recheck the temperature. Continue cooking until the desired doneness is achieved. Then, remove it from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes. Cut it across the grain into thin slices. Pour the reserved marinade (discard the basting marinade) over the top of the sliced steak.
