Description

This Garlic Marinated Flank Steak is a straightforward yet flavorful dish that highlights the natural richness of beef. The marinade, featuring plenty of crushed garlic, Dijon mustard, and red wine vinegar, penetrates the meat to create a savory, slightly tangy crust. The olive oil ensures the steak stays juicy while it broils to perfection. It&# 226;€™s an excellent choice for busy weeknights or casual gatherings where you want impressive results without hours of effort. Serve it with simple sides like roasted vegetables or a fresh salad to let the steak shine. The key is to slice against the grain for maximum tenderness.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Peel the garlic cloves and flatten them by pressing down firmly with the flat side of a broad knife.
  2. Place the flattened garlic into a jar with a tight-fitting lid.
  3. Add the Dijon mustard, red wine vinegar, olive oil, salt, and pepper to the jar.
  4. Secure the lid and shake vigorously until the dressing is well blended.
  5. Score the steak at right angles to the grain of the meat, cutting about 1/4-inch deep on both sides.
  6. Pour about 1/2 cup of the marinade into a plastic bag and add the steak.
  7. Seal the bag with a twist tie, ensuring the steak is coated, and refrigerate for at least 20 minutes or up to 2 days.
  8. Preheat the broiler. Remove steak from marinade and discard excess liquid.
  9. Broil the steak about 3 inches from the heat source for 3 minutes on each side, or until cooked to your desired doneness.
  10. Let the steak rest for a few minutes, then slice it thinly across the grain.
