I love flank steak, its one of my favorite cuts of meat. It is very lean and cooks quickly and has such an amazing flavor. It is always best to cook flank steak rare to medium rare as you will get more flavor from the steak and it won't taste like shoe leather....I have two marinades that work great for flank steak, one that is paleo and the other not so much.....The non-paleo marinade is not a bad marinade it just a few non paleo ingredients in it that are hard to substitute. Take your pick they both rock!!!
Paleo Carne Asada -
1 jalapeno pepper
1 teaspoon of cumin
2 tablespoons of fresh cilantro finely chopped
1 tablespoon of freshly squeezed lime juice (i love limes so I usually throw in another)
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
The best thing to do with the flank steak is trim off any visible fat, and pound the flank steak thin with a meat tenderizer and pour the marinade over the steak and let it sit for at least 2 hours. Then throw it on the grill approximately 5 mins on each side.
Non Paleo Sizzle Marinade -
1/2 cup of Worcestershire sauce
1/2 cup of red wine vinegar
1/4 cup of Dijon mustard
1/4 cup of olive oil
1 teaspoon of garlic powder
Combine all ingredients and pour over marinate. Let sit in fridge for at least 2 hours and grill. If I don't pound out the steak and it's on the thicker side, I usually do 5-7 minutes on each side. Remember you can always cook more but you can't cook a steak less once it's done!
Both of these recipes can use a 2 lb flank steak.
Enjoy!
