Recipe Station

This broiled flank steak recipe makes six to eight servings.  It takes at least an hour or up to a day for the steak to marinade in all those delicious flavors. Then it takes about eight to twelve minutes to cook. When it comes out of the oven, it will smell so good you'll want to dig right in!

Let's Get Started!

The Ingredients To Gather:

• 1 1/2 to 2 pounds flank steak
• 2 to 3 tablespoons lemon juice, lime juice, vinegar, or other acid
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 3 cloves garlic, optional, grated on a microplane or pressed in a garlic press
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 to 2 teaspoons spices, like chili powder, barbecue spices, curry, or other favorite spice blend

The Step By Step Directions To Follow:

1. You can leave the flank steak whole, or you can cut it into one or two long strips.
2. Slices from the whole steak are great for sandwiches or topping of salads; skinny strips are nicer for things like fajitas and burritos.
3. Place the steak in a shallow dish. Whisk together all the marinade ingredients and pour over the steak.
4. Rub the marinade into the steak,  flip the steak once or twice in the dish to coat.
5. Cover the dish and place the steak in the fridge for at least 1 hour or up to 24 hours. Flip the steak occasionally if you happen to think about it.
6. Set your broiler to its highest setting Place an oven rack a few inches below the broiler element.
7. Line a broiler pan with aluminum foil, add the top, and spray the top with nonstick cooking spray.
8. Remove the steak from the marinade, shake off any excess, and place it in the middle of the broiler pan. Slide it directly under the broil. Cook for 4 – 6 minutes, flip it over, and broil for another 4 – 6 minutes.
9. The steak is done when the edges are charred and crispy, and you see some nicely dark searing on the top.  If additional cooking is needed, cook for another minute or two for every 10 degrees needed; transfer the steak to the oven if it's becoming too crisp on the edges.
   Transfer the steak to a cutting board and rest for 5 minutes.
10. Slice the steak into very thin slices using a sharp knife, cutting against the grain.
    Transfer the slices to a serving platter. Pour the juices from the pan and cutting board over the meat and toss to coat.
    Serve the steak right away. Leftovers are great in sandwiches and on salads, or reheated in quesadillas, burritos, or other quick dinners.
