Easy Flank Steak Marinade that uses five simple ingredients you may already have in your cupboard. It’s high in protein and low in fat.
I tend to be a little finicky about fully cooked meat and don’t like any pink to show, so the steak shown here is considered well done as far as flank steak goes, slightly over medium. Overcooked flank steak can become tough, so watch it carefully and remember it continues to cook after it is removed from the heat.
To Make This Easy Flank Steak Marinade, You Will Need These Ingredients:
- Flank steak
- Olive oil ~ optional for frying
- Worcestershire sauce
- Thyme
- Seasoned Salt ~ Low FODMAP friendly if needed.
- Black pepper
- Rub ~ We use Bad Bryon’s Butt Rub and this Low FOD MAP when needed.
Here is an internal temperature chart for cooking flank steak. This particular cut of steak should not be overcooked because it will become tough.
Cooked Steak Internal Temperature Chart:
Rare: 125-130 degrees F.
Medium Rare: 130-135 degrees F.
