Tender Flank Steak

SUBMITTED BY: Gayle Bucknam

"'This mildly marinated flank steak is my son's favorite,' reports Gayle Bucknam of Greenbank, Washington. 'I usually slice it thinly and serve it with twice-baked potatoes and a green salad to round out the meal. Leftovers are great for French dip sandwiches.'"

INGREDIENTS

  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons water
  • 3 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger

  1. In a large resealable plastic bag or shallow glass container, combine the first seven ingredients; mix well. Add steak and turn to coat. Cover and refrigerate for 8 hours or overnight, turning occasionally. Drain and discard marinade. Grill, covered, over medium-hot heat for 6-8 minutes on each side or until meat reaches desired doneness (for medium-rare, a meat thermometer should read 145 degrees F; medium, 160 degrees F; well-done, 170 degrees F).
