Latin Flank Steak
From Every Kitchen Tells Its Stories

Hands-on time: 5 minutes
Marinate time: 2 -24 hours
Grill time: 15 minutes
Resting time: 10-15 minutes
Serves 4


Ingredients:
2 Flank Steaks
Marinade:
½ cup soy sauce
½ cup Worcestershire sauce
Juice of 1 large lemon (approx. ¼ cup)
¼ cup fresh cilantro, chopped
1 tbsp fresh ginger, minced
2 cloves fresh garlic, minced
1 jalapeno pepper, seeded & finely chopped (optional)

Directions:

1. Whisk all ingredients except flank steaks for the marinade.

2. Lightly score (shallow slashes) both sides of the flank steak and marinate steaks overnight in fridge or at least 2 hours at room temperature.

3. Drain marinade into small saucepan and bring to boil.

4. Grill steaks 5 minutes per side for medium-rare.

5. Thinly slice meat across the grain (short side).

6. To use remaining marinade as sauce, place in small pot on top of stove and boil for 3-4 minutes to kill any bacteria.

Tips & Variations

My favourite sides are simple rice or plain couscous with ginger/garlic green veggies. Check out the vegetable section for some options – roasted potato salad and spiced mango coleslaw are a nice choice.

A traditional chimichurri adds some extra Latin zing.
