Flank Steak Marinades

Flank Steak Marinades

Mediterranean Marinade:

Smash 4 garlic cloves with the leaves of 4 rosemary sprigs,
1 tsp salt, and plenty of pepper. Mix in 5 tablepoons extra-virgin olive oil,
1/4 cup red-wine vinegar, and 1 tsp sugar

Latin Marinade:

Smash 4 garlic cloves with 2-3 tablespoons fresh oregano, 1 tsp salt,
and plenty of pepper. Mix in 5 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, 1/4 c lime juice (from 4 limes)
and 1 tsp sugar

Marinate steak in resealable bag, refrigerated, for four to 24 hours. Flip the bag occasionally.

Preheat grill, broiler, or stove-top grill pan to high. Cook steak, flipping once, to desires doneness (preferably medium-rare); total cooking time ranges from six to 10 minutes, with an average of four minutes per side. Let meat rest for about four minutes before cutting across the grain into thin slices. Each pound of meat serves about 4 people with sides.

We haven't tried the Mediterranean marinade, but the Latin one was fabulous! Enjoy!
