Marinated Flank Steak
Description
Marinated Flank Steak uses a mixture of oil, low-sodium soy sauce, and peach juice enhanced with dried minced onion and parsley to infuse flavor and tenderize the meat. Marinating for 3 to 6 hours lets the flavors penetrate the flank steak before grilling. Cooking over high heat for short intervals on each side achieves a seared exterior while maintaining the desired internal temperature, typically rare to medium. After resting, slicing the steak thinly against the grain breaks up muscle fibers, ensuring tenderness.
The recipe suits dinners where a flavorful grilled steak is desired, often paired with sides like potatoes or salads. The marinade’s peach juice adds a subtle sweetness that distinguishes it from typical savory-only marinades.
Notes suggest that canned sliced peaches can be pureed as a substitute for peach juice, or alternatively, white grape, pear, or apple juice can be used to vary flavor. This flexibility helps adapt the marinade based on availability.
Ingredients
- 1 cup vegetable oil or canola oil
- 1 cup soy sauce low-sodium
- 1 cup peach juice or peach nectar*
- 2 Tablespoons onion dried minced
- 2 Tablespoons dried parsley flakes
- 1 flank steak
Instructions
- Marinade: Add oil, soy sauce, peach juice, minced onion and parsley to a large ziplock bag. Add the flank steak to the bag, seal it, and lay it flat in your fridge to marinate for 3-6 hours.
- Grill: Remove steak from the fridge about 20 minutes before grilling. Heat grill to high heat.
- Clean and oil grill grates and add steak, discarding the marinade. Cook for 3-4 minutes, then flip to the other side and cook for 3-4 more minutes, or until desired doneness: 125 to 130°F for rare, 140°F for medium rare, and 150°F for medium.
- Rest: Remove steak, cover with foil and rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing into very thin pieces, against the grain.
Notes
- You can substitute peach juice with pureed canned sliced peaches, including juice and fruit.
- Alternate juices that work are white grape, pear, or apple juice.
