Ingredients
- 1/3 cup (about 4 limes) freshly squeezed lime juice
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 scallions (about 1/3 cup), thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons minced, peeled fresh ginger
- 1/2 teaspoon red-pepper flakes
- 1 1/2 pounds flank steak
- Vegetable oil, for grates
- Coarse salt and ground black pepper
Directions
- In a resealable plastic bag, combine lime juice, soy sauce, scallions, ginger, and red-pepper flakes. Add steak, and seal bag (place in a dish to catch any leaks); marinate in the refrigerator, turning occasionally, up to 1 hour.
- Heat grill to high; lightly oil grates. Remove steak from marinade, letting excess drip off (discard marinade); season with salt and black pepper. Place on grill; cover. Cook, turning once, until meat reaches desired doneness, 6 to 8 minutes for medium-rare. Let rest 10 minutes before slicing thinly.

VERY good. Awesome flavors, easy, tender meat, and an excellent meal. The sandwich this goes with with shredded carrots is excellent as well.
This is a favorite. It's easy, delicious, and if there is anything leftover it can be used in salads and sandwiches.
Excellent marinade. I used it on tri-tip. Very easy to prepare.
This was on our weekly summer menu. Quick, easy and very flavorful.
I actually bought nearly 3 lbs of skirt steak, used some of it for the fajita recipe on here (which is FABULOUS), used some of for this. Worked great, and was perfectly seasoned.
I used a larger piece of steak and saved leftovers to make fajita's later in the week. Delicious marinade!
I just noticed that this said to marinate only about an hour. I guess because it's from Everyday Food...but I've always marinated flank steak for at least a day or two...delicious and tender!!
As far as I know...flank steak is "flank steak" in Canada. I sometimes have a hard time finding it though. If you can't find it in the meat section of the grocery store, they usually have it at the fresh meat counter...or ask the butcher. I get them at Costco sometimes. "Skirt steak" is a similar cut, but that is a more common name in the U.S. I believe. Flank steak is always one of my favourites so I'm looking forward to trying this marinade.
this is absolutely delicious. i let my flank steak marinate for several hours, and it turned out wonderful!
Okay I am sure that this question has been asked many times but what is flank steak called in Canada?
This is DELICIOUS! I used flat iron steak, very similar meat and it tasted great!
Has anyone found the nutrient info on any of these recipes?
For filets, I simply use olive oil, salt and pepper. Sometimes I'll rub a garlic clove around the filet or add a tiny drizzle of fresh lemon juice. For flank steak, though, I use olive oil. soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, brown sugar, green onions, cilantro, kosher salt, black pepper, garlic, and fresh lime juice and marinate overnight (I usually make a batch of sangria at the same time and marinate THAT overnight, as well). Yum!
I couldn't believe how flavourful this marinade made the meat after only one hour. Very good.
