Grilled Flank Steak
Ingredients
- 1/4 cup red wine OR non-alcoholic beer
- 1/4 cup low sodium soy sauce
- 1/4 cup low sodium chicken broth
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
- 3 green onions sliced
- 1 clove garlic pressed
- 1 1/2 pounds lean flank steak
- 2 nectarines each cut into 8 pieces
Instructions
- Marinate flank steak for at least 4 hours but no longer than 24 hours (see recipe).
- In a large zipper-topped plastic bag, combine all ingredients, except beef and nectarines.
- Make cuts about 1/2 inch apart and 1/8 inch deep in a diamond pattern in both sides of beef; add to marinade, seal the bag and turn to coat.
- Refrigerate, turning occasionally, for at least 4 hours but no longer than 24 hours.
- Preheat indoor or outdoor grill to MEDIUM. Remove beef from marinade; reserve marinade. Grill beef, covered, 12 to 14 minutes for medium doneness, brushing occasionally with marinade and turning once.
- Add nectarines to the grill for the last 5 minutes of grilling time, turning once and brushing frequently with marinade. Discard any remaining marinade.
- Allow beef to rest on a cutting board for 10 to 15 minutes to redistribute its juices then slice across the grain (diagonally). Serve with nectarines.
