Need a flank steak "quick" marinade recipe

MisterChrister · Nov 19, 2012

After using the search function extensively, I'm even more confused. Many recipes say to marinate 4 hours or overnight, or even days, but a couple said an hour or less. Why? .....anyone have a "fast acting" marinade they want to share? I'll be home in an hour and want to eat it before bedtime!

A little worcestershire (just a little wiped over the surface), salt, black pepper, and granluated garlic. Let it set for about 20 minutes and you are good to go. Cook to medium rare, rest, slice against the grain.

A thin Teriyaki. Speed it up by vacuum sealing it like they do on Iron Chef.

My favorite marinade for flank steak is robusto Italian salad dressing. I just pour a small bottle in the zip lock bag with the steak, and flip it a couple/few times overnight. Certainly couldn't get any easier. Comes out fantastic every time. :wink:

Oooh... I love cilantro, but have never tried it with this marinade. I'll put that on my to-do list.

Update

Thanks for all of the stellar replies! I "averaged" a bunch of them, marinated 1/2 hour, got the cast iron skillet scorching hot and shot for rare. It came out really good. Next time I'll plan ahead for a longer marinade time, and use lump on the kettle for more heat and crusting. All in all, it was quite tasty though, with yummy leftovers for tomorrow at work! Thanks again!!!
