Brown Sugar Garlic Flank Steak
Description
This recipe marinates flank steak in a mixture of garlic, brown sugar, olive oil, Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, Dijon mustard, sliced green onions, and sea salt. The marinade imparts a balance of sweetness, umami, and tangy sharpness from the mustard and Worcestershire. The steak is tightly sealed with the marinade using plastic wrap and chilled for at least four hours to absorb the flavors and tenderize the meat.
Grilling the steak on high heat for about 20 minutes develops a flavorful crust and cooks the meat to a desirable doneness. The marinade caramelizes somewhat, accentuating the brown sugar’s sweetness alongside savory and garlicky notes, while the soy and Worcestershire sauces add depth. The sliced green onions contribute freshness and mild pungency to the marinade.
Best served immediately after grilling, the steak can be sliced thinly across the grain to retain tenderness and juiciness. This approach yields a balanced and flavorful grilled flank steak suitable for various meals.
Ingredients
- 2 pounds flank steak
- 6 teaspoons garlic about 6 cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 bunch green onion white and light green parts only, sliced
- 2 teaspoon salt sea salt
Instructions
- To make the marinade, in a small bowl mix together 6 teaspoons minced garlic, 2 tablespoons brown sugar,2 tablespoons olive oil, 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce, 2 tablespoons soy sauce, 1 tablespoon dijon mustard , 1 bunch sliced green onions, and 2 teaspoon sea salt.
- On a clean surface lay out two large pieces of Reynolds Kitchens Quick Cut plastic wrap slide by side, with 2 inches overlapping. This creates and extra large rectangle.
- Pat 2 pounds flank steak dry using a paper towel and set it in the center of the prepared plastic wrap. Pour the marinade over the steak and pull the sides of the plastic together until the steak and marinade are tightly sealed. If needed, use an extra piece of plastic wrap to seal up any loose ends. Set it in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, or up to overnight.
- When you are ready to grill the steak, preheat the grill to high heat for 20 minutes.
- Remove the plastic wrap from the steak and set it directly on the grill. Cook without turning for 3 minutes. Flip and cook the other side for another 3 minutes. Continue flipping back and forth until steak reaches an internal temperature of 130-135 degrees Fahrenheit, about 10 minutes total.
- Remove the steak from the grill to a plate or cutting board. Let the steak rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
