Marinated Flank Steak


This is a SparkPeople.com Recipe (what's this)

Introduction

This will bring out all kinds of flavor in your beef. This will bring out all kinds of flavor in your beef.

Ingredients

    • 1/2 cup salsa
    • 1 clove of garlic, minced
    • 1/4 cup olive oil
    • 1 lime
    • 1 flank steak (about 1.5 lbs.)

Directions

1. Put the salsa, garlic, olive oil, and the juice of the lime in a zip top plastic bag. Shake around to mix ingredients.



2. Add the flank steak to the bag. Seal the bag while pressing out as much air as possible. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours.



3. When ready to cook, remove the steak from the bag, discarding marinade.



4. Grill or broil the flank steak to medium or medium rare. Don't overcook - flank steak can get very tough and unappetizing if overcooked.



5. Let it rest for 10 minutes, and slice the meat against the grain into thin slices.



Serves 4.

    Very good! Instead of marinating, I put all the ingredients in the slow cooker, and added green peppers and onions. I then threw in baby carrots after the first couple of hours. YUM!!! Very tender and ended up with a yummy "sauce" to serve over the meat! - 7/31/10

    Super easy to orep and make. I wasn't sure how long it would take to broil - took about 10 min per side of the steak. Make sure it's pretty rare when you take it out becuase it'll cook a little bit more when it sits for 10 min (covered with foil on top of the stove, still on broiler pan) - 2/24/09

    I also made this in the crock pot. I omitted the oil and added a fresh diced onion, a red and orange pepper and an extra cup of salsa. Cooked on low for about 5hrs. I cut the meat it into thick strips for the last hour of cooking. Delicious! - 2/17/09

    Really good I used salsa verde and it was just fine even though I pan fried it. I just had a craving for a steak. It hit the spot. - 2/3/10

    Easy and delicious! For those who felt it didn't have enough flavor, you might want to try using a different salsa. I tossed the leftovers with some more garlic, a bag of frozen stir-fry veggies, leftover brown rice, and a bit of Hoisin sauce for a quick & easy dinner the next night. Yummy! - 8/19/11

    So, so, so good!!! This is the best steak marinade I have ever had. I followed the recipe exactly and broiled the steaks. The flavor of the lime and beef went so well together. Will absolutely make again. - 6/13/11

    I love that this uses stuff I often have on hand. We marinated it for just over 3 hours, and it was tasty as heck. Paired it with a nice Argentinian Malbec. - 7/15/10

    We grilled the steak after marinating it. I think we will try the crock pot next time. This was really good----but then I love steak. - 3/14/10

    I marinaded the steak overnight but my husband and I still thought it lacked in flavor. The only time you could really taste the marinade is when you had a bite of salsa with the steak. The steak was moist and cooked medium. I will not be keeping this recipe as I have better recipes for flank steak. - 2/24/10

    I also cooked this in the slow cooker for 8 hours, and then let it sit in the refridgerator overnight and had it the next day for supper. I found the flavours better the second night. Kids thought it was an okay supper and said they would eat it again. - 2/7/10
