Ultimate Flank Steak Marinade

Submitted by KimmieCat1

"I adapted this from a recipe I got off the myrecipes.com site. It is a wonderful marinade for flank steak. The great thing about this recipe is that you can serve the steak alone and it is still flavorful or you can top with yoru favorite sauce. Marinade time (3 hours to overnight) is not included in prep time. I hope you enjoy!"

Working against the grain, cut into thin slices with a knife.

Fabulous!! So simple to prepare and the flavors are splendid! Marinated for 6 hours and the meat was so tender when we served it. Found and made for I Recommend tag game based on TeresaS's review.

Excellent marinade with lots of flavor. I oven-broiled a flank steak but looking forward to trying this during the summer on the grill!

I used fresh thyme and I let the steaks in the marinade for at least 6 hours. The flavor was awesome. Thanks KimmieCat :) Made for PAC Fall 2011

Made as written using dried thyme. This was really good and had a nice flavor that complimented the meat, not overpower it. Will make again and grill it. Made for PASC Spring 2011.
