Description

A great marinade for a summer BBQ or winter savory meal.  Serve with roasted potatoes, baked potatoes, couscous, or rice.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 11.5 pounds flank steak
  • ¼ C extra virgin olive oil
  • ¼ C balsamic vinegar
  • Juice of 1 lemon
  • 2 tsp Worcestershire
  • 1tsp dried oregano
  • 34 cloves, minced
  • ½ tsp onion powder
  • 1 tsp salt
  • ¼ tsp ground black pepper

Instructions

  1. Mix all ingredients in a small mixing bowl (or I end up using a pyrex measuring cup to measure out the oil and vinegar, then add all additional ingredients), and whisk to mix together.
  2. Trim any excess fat off of the steak.
  3. Place in a shallow dish or a food storage bag for marinating.
  4. Pour marinade over the steak and turn the steak to coat.
  5. Marinate for 2 – 24 hours prior to grilling.  I recommend marinating this over night when you have the time.  It will allow the meat to take on a richer flavor.
  6. If the steak has been marinating overnight, take the steak out of the refrigerator 30 minutes to 1 hour before grilling.  This will allow the meat to get to a better internal temperature for grilling more evenly.
  7. When ready for grilling, turn grill to medium-high heat.
  8. When the grill is hot, put the steak on the grill and grill for 5-7 minutes per side. Generally, 5 – 7 minutes will be medium-rare inside.  For more well done, monitor additional grilling time.

Notes

  • This marinade is also great for marinading chicken breast or chicken thighs.
  • I recommend marinating this over night when you have the time.  It will allow the meat to take on a richer flavor.
