Flank Steak Recipe

What is flank steak? It is a cut of beef at the bottom section of a cow. It’s part of the abdominal muscles or lower chest of the steer. Flank steak is one of my favorite cuts of beef. It’s beefy and great for grilling. For this flank steak recipe, I turned to my friend Harry Soo at Slap Yo’ Daddy BBQ. Together, we developed this Japanese-style steak that is absolutely tender, juicy, and packed full of flavors. This recipe yields the best homemade steak ever!

How To Make Flank Steak

Grilling flank steak with an outdoor grill delivers a great piece of steak. That was exactly what I did. However, you can use an indoor grill or even pan sear the steak on stove top using a pan or cast-iron skillet. To make the steak, first you prepare the marinade and marinate the steak for 1 hour. Next, fire up the grill and grill the steak.

Grilling Tips

For the best results, use a charcoal grill. However, a gas grill will work just fine. High heat and quick grilling is the best way of cooking the steak. If the grill flares up, move the steak to a cooler spot to prevent burning. Return the steak to the heat when the flame dies down. After grilling, let rest the steak for 10 minutes. This will allow the juice inside the steak to redistribute so it will not leak out when you slice it.
