Advice: Flank Steak

[Kanco Connection]

What’s your typical prep for flank steak? It’s been awhile since I cooked one but have one in the fridge. In the past, I’ve cooked just like a regular steak, and other times I’ve marinated with Asian flavors and such. Any fans of flank steak out there? Anybody want to share their favorite flank steak prep?

One of our favorites!

Sous vide and reverse sear for steak tacos

Butterfly, stuff with spinach and goat cheese , roll and smoke

And of course, Asian type marinade, grilled and served over rice

I like to marinate it in Veri Veri Teryaki by Soy Vey, then grill it hot and fast. Delicious.

Cooked one a couple of weeks ago. Seasoned like a brisket. Let marinate while I got the PBC lit and cooked about 40min. Med-rare, made great tacos.

Thanks Mik! Don’t have that brand, but do have some teriyaki begging to be used...

...PBC does all kinds of good things. Never tried flank steak but sounds good. Thanks!

This would be my idea of a good time. :-D

So many things you can do with it. Try a marinade with Soy, Orange Juice, Kiwi fruit, Garlic, Onions, Habaneros. The kiwi will tenderize the meat even more than a regular marinade.

Love flank steak! I often do a marinade of soy sauce, chopped onion, minced garlic, chopped cilantro, lime juice and lime zest + some sweetener (I'm borderline diabetic, so I use a non carb sweetener, but honey works really well here), and veggie oil. Let soak overnight in the marinade, then toss on the gasser to cook hot and fast (2 mins on high, turn 45 degrees, 2 mins on high, flip, 2 mins on high, turn 45 degrees, 2 mins on high, and then remove). Let rest, slice thin against the grain and enjoy!

And, if you're going to the trouble of cooking one, you might as well do two and stock the freezer. :idea:

Marinade works really well on pork tenderloin as well.

I use a very similar marinade, but with chopped cilantro on skirt steak. Gonna try it on a flank I just bought. Thanks.

This isn't a grill recipe, but it is great. Also, the smell in the house is unreal. Saute about half and onion cut into chunks along with a carrot or two cut into chunks in a pot or dutch oven. Lay about a 1 or 2 pound piece of flank steak on top of the vegetables. Add some thyme, and about 3/4 bottle of good dry red wine.

Bring to a simmer, cover, and cook in a 300 degree oven until it is fork tender. Shred it, and chop it because the the shreds are very long. Strain the liquid, and mix some back into the beef. Flank is fairly lean, so it is somewhat dry when braised. It just soaks back up the braising liquid beautifully, and tastes amazing.

Its great for sandwiches, and quesadillas. Recently, I've been using it for homemade ravioli. Mash up the carrots and onions that you strain, mix it with some of the meat, a little ricotta, and a little parmesan. Its a great filling.
