So, you can imagine my excitement when they listed several delicious-sounding, healthy beef recipes! The Balsamic Marinated Flank Steak recipe totally caught my eye... yum!
I had never personally cooked flank steak before, but I know it's very lean and always tasty. This girl was ready for a challenge, but it actually took minutes to prepare and a few minutes to cook. Now, that's my kind of meal!
{ Balsamic Marinated Flank Steak }
Ingredients:
Beef flank steak (about 1-1/2 pounds)
Salt & pepper
Balsamic Marinade:
1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon chopped fresh basil
1 1/2 teaspoons Dijon-style mustard
1 clove garlic, minced
1/2 teaspoon sugar
Instructions:
1) Combine marinade ingredients in small bowl. Place beef steak and marinade in food-safe plastic bag; turn steak to coat. Close bag securely and marinate in refrigerator 6 hours or as long as overnight, turning occasionally.
2) Remove steak from marinade; discard marinade. Place steak on grid over medium, ash-covered coals. Grill, covered, 11 to 16 minutes (over medium heat on preheated gas grill, 16 to 21 minutes) for medium rare (145°F) to medium (160°F) doneness, turning occasionally.
3) Season steak with salt and pepper, as desired. Carve steak crosswise into thin slices.
