re: Flank steak

I marinate mine in 1/3 cup olive oil, 1/3 cup soy sauce, and 1/3 cup lemon juice for a few hours the sear to med rare on a hot grill. I then microwave the remaining marinade to cook out the raw meat, and use it as a gravy. Simple and delicious.

That's how I sort of do mine except I use a hand full of chopped up cilantro and dice up a bunch of garlic. I use a couple of squeezed limes instead of lemon and I also throw in a couple of tablespoons of turbinado or brown sugar. That's how my Hispanic friends taught me to make my marinade when I lived in Texas. I like to throw in some mesquite chunks on the grill just to give it a hint of that smoke taste. I also cut I guess you would call it across the bias instead of with the grain on flank. I use that same marinade on flank, skirt, hanger and flat iron steaks and it sure taste great to me especially when used with tortillas in a fajita type dish or with corn tortilla street tacos.
