Marinated Flank Steak
This winter sucked and now we have snow on Easter weekend? What is going on? We had a brief reprieve of the cold last week and my family capitalized on it and barbequed, without a parka! I’m not one to advocate writing off red meat, there are tons of vitamins and huge protein; I just advocate portion control which is key to a healthy lifestyle.

Rotate the steak in the marinade every few hours.
When you’re ready to grill the steak, shake off the excess marinade.

This is very important; when you serve the Flank Steak, slice the meat against the grain (opposite of the natural lines you’ll see in the fibre of the meat). This is key to tender Flank Steak.
Notes
- There is enough marinade for a larger steak but I’m trying to encourage portion control and honestly this is more than enough meat.
