Flank Steak Marinade
Description
Light brown sugar and honey are blended with soy sauce, garlic, and green onion to make a savory sweet marinade for flank steak.
Ingredients
•
1 (1 1/2-pound) flank steak, fat trimmed
•
3/4 cup olive oil
•
1/2 cup light brown sugar
•
1/2 cup dry red wine
•
1/4 cup soy sauce
•
3 tablespoons onion powder
•
3 tablespoons honey
•
3 whole green onions, coarsely chopped
•
4 cloves garlic
•
2 tablespoons garlic vinegar
•
1 1/2 teaspoons ground ginger
•
1 1/2 teaspoons garlic powder
Directions
1
Score flank steak by making shallow crisscross cuts on both sides.
2
Place olive oil, light brown sugar, red wine, soy sauce, onion powder, honey, green onions, garlic cloves, garlic vinegar, ground ginger, and garlic powder in a blender. Purée until smooth; pour mixture into a resealable plastic bag. Add steak, coat with marinade, squeeze out excess air, and seal the bag. Marinate in the refrigerator for 8 hours to overnight.
3
Remove steak from the refrigerator and pour marinade into a small saucepan. Allow steak to rest at room temperature for 20 minutes.
4
Meanwhile, bring marinade to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer for 10 minutes; set aside.
5
Preheat an outdoor grill to medium-high heat, and lightly oil the grate.
6
Grill the steak on the preheated grill until it starts to firm up and is reddish-pink and juicy in the center, about 7 minutes per side, basting often with cooked marinade. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 130 degrees F (54 degrees C) for medium rare.
