A very easy, very delicious flank steak that fast-marinates in about two hours and broils in about fifteen minutes. Total hands on time does not exceed five minutes. Makes an excellent main dish or as a topping to a salad.
A quick marinating process is all you need to get this flank steak started. It broils in just minutes making it a fast, easy and delicious dinner.
Marinates in 2-4 hours – although you can marinate for longer if it’s convenient for you.
I’ve served this with mushroom risotto, with mashed potatoes, atop a spinach salad, and most recently with vegetable lo mien. It’s always excellent.
