What is flank steak

Flank steak is a small cut of beef that comes from the lower abdomen of the animal. It is known for its strong beefy flavor, but also for its tough fibrous consistency. Flank steak can't be cooked like other prime cuts of beef because it has less fat, and more connective tissue. You can either cook it hot and fast or low and slow. Flank steak is commonly used for fajitas and other hispanic dishes.

How to tenderize flank steak

Tenderizing steak does not mean pounding it with a meat tenderizer. Instead it means marinating the meat so that the acid from the marinade can begin to break down the meat which in turn makes it juicier, more flavorful and more tender. Most meats need to marinate at least 2 hours and up to 24 hours. This will allow the flavor to permeate the meat properly.

How to create a marinade

A successful marinade has a good balance between acid, oil and seasonings. You can easily find marinades at grocery stores or make your own. If you're making your own marinade, Jessica Gavin has a great Marinating How To Guide on her site that's worth looking at.

For this recipe, we are cooking the flank steak hot and fast. Once the steak is out of the marinade, pat dry and place on a lined baking sheet. Preheat the broiler on high. Place the meat in the oven and broil for 6-7 minutes per a side or until you reach desired doneness. Let rest for 10 minutes before slicing thinly and serving.
