Kittencal's Marinated Grilled Flank Steak

Ingredients

• 2 lbs flank steaks
• McCormick's Montreal Brand steak seasoning (to taste, or freshly ground coarse black pepper)
• salt (to taste, I use seasoned salt if using black pepper)

MARINADE

• 2/3 cup vegetable oil
• 1/3 cup soy sauce
• 1/4 cup red wine vinegar
• 3-4 tablespoons honey (can use 3-4 tablespoons real maple syrup, DO NOT substitute brown sugar)
• 3 tablespoons worcestershire sauce
• 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
• 2-3 tablespoons coarsley chopped fresh garlic
• 2 green onions, coarsley chopped

Directions

1. 1

   In a bowl combine all marinade ingredients until well combined.

2. 2

   Score the surface of the uncooked steak about 1/4-inch deep across the grain.

3. 3

   Place the marinade into a large heavy resealable plastic bag then add in the beef.

4. 4

   Seal bag and toss meat to coat with the marinade.

5. 5

   Place the bag into a large bowl.

6. 6

   Refrigerate for 24 hours (tossing the bag a couple of times during the refrigeration time).

7. 7

   Remove beef from the marinade and allow all the marinade to drip off scraping off the chopped garlic pieces and green onions from the meat.

8. 8

   Place on a large plate (I use a jelly-roll pan) and allow to sit out on the counter until almost room temperature, this might take about 3 or more hours.

9. 9

   Preheat grill to high heat.

10. 10

    Place on grill and season with steak seasoning or fresh ground black pepper and a little salt.

11. 11

    Grill the meat about 5-6 minutes per side for rare doneness (turning ONLY one time, do not overcook the meat as it will cook a little more after removing from the grill).

12. 12

    Remove to a plate/s and allow to sit for 10 minutes before slicing.

13. 13

    Slice the meat across the grain.
