ingredients
- 1 1⁄2 - 2 lbs flank steaks
- coarse salt
- fresh ground black pepper
-
for the marinade
- 1⁄2 cup extra virgin olive oil
- 1⁄4 cup sherry wine vinegar
- 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
- 1 tablespoon ketchup
- 1⁄2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 1⁄2 cup red onion, very finely diced
- 1 pinch cayenne pepper
- 1 teaspoon fresh rosemary, chopped
- 1⁄2 teaspoon fresh thyme, chopped
- 1⁄2 teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground
- 1⁄4 cup water
directions
- In a large bowl, combine all the marinade ingredients and whisk well.
- Pour into a large Ziploc bag and add the steak; seal the bag and refrigerate for 24-36 hours.
- Thirty minutes before grilling, preheat the grill to high and remove the steak from the refrigerator.
- Transfer the meat to a platter and reserve the marinade for basting.
- Season the steak on both sides generously with salt and pepper.
- Place the steak on the hot grill and cook for 2 minutes.
- Rotate the steak a quarter turn to mark the steak which promotes even cooking and makes an attractive grill pattern on the meat.
- Cook for 2 minutes more, then turn and sear the other side.
- Dab the marinade onto the meat with a pastry brush.
- Cook for 2 minutes, then mark by rotating a quarter turn. Cook another 2 minutes and baste again.
- Reduce the heat to low and transfer the steak to the warming shelf placed in the highest position. If you don't have a warming shelf, move the meat to a cooler section of the grill.
- Close the lid and continue to cook for 8-12 more minutes more for medium-rare, depending upon the thickness of the steak.
- Lift the lid to turn the steak over and baste with the marinade every 2 minutes or so.
- Allow the meat to rest for 5 minutes off the grill before thinly slicing it across the grain on a slight bias, 1/4-1/8 of an inch thick.
- Serve warm.

Really good. Hubby served over lettuce as a salad and it was excellent. I had mine with mashed potatoes, it was equally good alone. Will deffinately make again

<p>I've collected recipes since I was a teen. After all these years I'm trying to get all my index cards and clippings, that still sound interesting to me, posted here so that I can find them and eventually make them! <br /> <br />I've posted some of my Mom's recipes. I regret not having paid more attention to my Grandmothers' cooking. They made some dishes that I miss and there were/are no recipes for them. <br /> <br />I have a wonderful DH and 2 wonderful sons. They are thrilled that I found this site since they directly benefit from it! Before finding 'Zaar, I was less of a cook and more of a recipe collector but now I try many more things and we're having more fun in the kitchen (at least I am)! <br /> <br />Thanks for all your ratings, comments and help in the forums AND for posting so many great recipes. You've enhanced my cooking skills and expanded my horizons! I've learned so much. <br /> <br />For fun, I also like to read fiction, travel, see movies and shows, shop (and I love to browse thrift shops and rummage/garage sales for cookbooks, etc.). <br /> <br />The discovery of a new dish does more for the happiness of mankind than the discovery of a new star Brillat-Savarin</p>
