Easy Grilled Flank Steak and Marinade

Easy Grilled Flank Steak and Marinade is a tasty, inexpensive way to serve steak. The marinade is simple and basic, and the steak is quick to grill, about 10 minutes for medium rare. Grilled flank is delicious sliced and served on a salad, over rice, in a wrap, or on its own with a side of fresh corn-on-the-cob or mashed potatoes. It’s a “win-win” dinner for sure.

The first time I made flank steak, I left it in the marinade too long, ten hours. So to be safe, I suggest marinating between 2-6 hours because the meat can become tough if it sits in the marinade too long.

Alternate Cooking/Grilling Methods:

  • Broil the steak in the oven
  • On the stove in a skillet
  • Slice the steak thin and cook strips in a wok

Flank steak needs to be cooked hot and fast. If it cooks too long, it will become chewy. Some say rare to medium is best at 125 to 135 degrees F using a meat thermometer. I suggest using a digital thermometer because it registers a temperature quickly and is easy to read.

After removing the steak from the grill, it should rest for at least 5 minutes. This will create a tender steak by allowing the juices to be redistributed throughout it. When you are ready to serve, cut the grilled flank steak across the grain.
