Sheila's Flank Steak Marinade

A simple sweet-and-savory marinade combining soy sauce, honey, ginger and garlic. After several hours in the marinade, the flank steak is grilled until nicely browned, then sliced thinly across the grain for tender, flavorful slices.

Servings: About 4–6
Prep Time: About 10 minutes, plus at least 4 hours marinating
Cook Time: About 14 minutes

Ingredients:

• ¼ cup soy sauce
• 3 tablespoons honey
• 2 tablespoons vinegar
• 1½ teaspoons garlic powder
• 1½ teaspoons ground ginger
• ¾ cup oil
• 1 green onion, finely chopped
• 1 flank steak

Instructions:

1. In a bowl, combine the oil, soy sauce, honey and vinegar.
2. Stir in the garlic powder, ginger and finely chopped green onion until thoroughly combined.
3. Place the flank steak in a shallow dish or resealable bag and pour the marinade over the meat.
4. Refrigerate and marinate for at least 4 hours, turning occasionally. The steak may be marinated longer for additional flavor.
5. Remove the steak from the marinade and discard the remaining marinade.
6. Grill the steak for approximately 7 minutes per side, adjusting the cooking time as necessary for the thickness of the steak and desired doneness.
7. Transfer the steak to a cutting board and allow it to rest for 5–10 minutes.
8. Slice thinly on the diagonal across the grain and serve.

Tip: Flank steak can become tough if overcooked. For medium-rare, aim for about 130–135°F before resting. Slicing thinly across the grain is equally important for tenderness.
