Marinated Flank Steak

By , About.com Guide

Flank steak has very little fat, making it an ideal low fat beef dish. Marinating it makes the beef tender and provides a wonderful flavor. Serve warm with a green salad, or any way you choose.

Ingredients:

  • 1 pound flank steak, trimmed
  • 1/4 cup lemon juice
  • 2 tbsp clear honey
  • 2 tsp grated fresh ginger (you could use 1 tsp gound ginger instead)
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 garlic cloves, crushed
  • 2 tbsp reduced sodium soy sauce

Preparation:

Whisk together lemon juice, honey, ginger, oil, garlic and soy sauce in a small bowl.

Place beef and marinade in a glass dish; cover and refrigerate for between 8 and 24 hours, turning occasionally.

Preheat broiler. Spray broiler pan rack with nonstick cooking spray. Remove beef from marinade and place on rack (discard marinade). Broil 3 inches from heat for about 4 minutes each side, or to desired degree of doneness. Let rest for a few minutes before slicing across the grain.
