Flank steak is already a flavourful cut of meat, and this citrus-ginger marinade lends a bright zesty flair—perfect for slicing into our Vietnamese Sandwiches: pictured right
(see our recipe on p. 23).
- ½ cup lime juice
- 2 tbsp lemon juice
- 2 tbsp soy sauce
- 2 tbsp grated ginger
- 1 tsp ground coriander
- 1/8 tsp red pepper flakes (to taste)
- 2 green onions, thinly sliced
- 1.5 lbs flank steak
INSTRUCTIONS
- For the marinade, combine the first 7 ingredients in a bowl or re-sealable bag.
- Place the flank steak in the bag or bowl and marinate for 45 minutes at room temperature. (Take care not to marinate too long; the acid in the citrus juices will start to ‘cook’ the meat.)
- Preheat your grill to medium-high 30 minutes before the meat has finished marinating.
- Grill the steak, turning only once, about 4 minutes each side.
- Turn one burner down to low, transfer the meat to the low side, and continue cooking to desired doneness.
- Let the steak rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
