Best Ever BBQ Flank Steak
This is the recipe my mom is famous for and the one I have raved about time and again to you and everyone I know. It's my favorite dish from my family's kitchen. I'm not kidding when I tell people that this is a dish people will remember.My sister-in-law Krista put it best when she described it to Rob, her words were "From then on, whenever you eat steak - any steak - you'll always say, 'Remember your mom's flank steak!?'" It's that good. If you ever try one recipe from this blog, this is the one.
It's juicy, zesty, flavorful, sweet, and just melt in your mouth shibby-orgiastic good. You'll need a cigarette afterwards. You might think I'm exaggerating if I say it's better than sex, but you would be wrong.
Not only is this dish mighty tasty, but it's surprisingly easy, requires little work, and can be prepared days in advanced. This dish goes well with a simple fresh salad with an Italian dressing, and maybe a baked potato with some baked potato trimmins'. Leftovers are great in salads or sammiches.
Here's the family recipe. Enjoy.
BBQ Flank SteakFrom the Capune & McCord family kitchen
What You'll Need...
3 lbs of good quality flank steak
1/4 cup soy sauce
3 tablespoons of honey
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
1/2 teaspoon of garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon of powdered ginger (freshly grated could work too I suppose)
3/4 cup of salad oil
1 cup of chopped green onions
What You'll Do...
1) Combine the ingredients into a marinade. Marinate steak in a wide, shallow dish for 2-4 days, piercing with a fork and turning in the morning and at night. Keep covered with plastic wrap.
2) BBQ steak for 7 minutes on each side.
3) Slice diagonally in thin slices.

That sounds really lovely... almost reminds me of a bulgogi-style marinade.
Just add some rice, some lettuce wraps, some sirrachi, now that's the stuff!
Well shit howdy, and I just purchased us a flank steak this morning from Prather Ranch. Now I know what I'm doing with it.
That sounds soooo good. We're going to make t-Bone steaks tomorrow and my husband is going to BBQ them. I wish we had all the stuff for the marinade on here, we'd definitely use it!
That picture has made my mouth water - looks fantastic!
We are marinating some sirloin for the grill today. Next time we get flank, we are certainly going to try this one.
Dave loves to grill.
My moms sig dish is stuffed cabbage leaves. I haven't made it in awhile. I am now inspired to do so.
That is one good looking steak. Now all I need to do is develop some patience and I can try it. 5 days is a long time to leave any food in my flat!
LOVING this recipe. How simple is this??
Happy New Year by the way.
I'm wondering how rare or well-done the meat gets when it's only cooked that long? If it's rare or even just a little pinkish to me, that's great! But my son-in-law, who generally operates the grill, has a penchant for meat having to be VERY WELL DONE and how well does the meat and sauce fare if it gets to be what I would term "overcooked?" But the combination of ingredients does sound like it would give excellent flavor.
WOW! I'm not very big on steaks but the way you described this made me save the recipe to make very soon. My dad would be overjoyed since he's on the Atkins diet again.
A cigarette huh? That's quite a promise and I'm gonna hold you to it.
mmm, that sounds good. Flank steak is nice with a zesty sauce, and this sounds like a good one.
Sounds and look awesome. I will save the recipe and try it sometimes soon. Thanks.
Ok so this was my lunch today, I took it to work. We pre-sliced it and marinated the steaks for 3 days, and grilled quickly this morning, then reheated in the microwave in the office. It was GOOD!
The first batch my mom grilled didn't come out too good because the heat was on too high, so the meat came out tough and dry. We lowered the heat and grilled for no about 2-3 mins (or even less depending on how thin or thick the slices are), it was perfect! Thanks so much for the recipe! :)
In the picture, there is some green stuff in the marinade....what is that?
the chopped green onions are the green stuff in the marinade.
I feel silly now...sorry, I didn't see that the recipe wrapped around the photo. :)
no worries :)
Tried this at a BBQ the weekend just gone. Every one wanted to try it. Everyone said it was amazing. What can i say. It really was.
the recipe calls for salad oil....can I use olive oil?
How is it if you can only marinate it for 18 hours?
