I followed the recipe exactly. I really did not care for this marinade. It tasted oily and did not have much flavor. All I could taste was the lemon. Thumbs down here.

The flavor of this steak was delicious and very balanced! No ingredient over-powered the other, and even with seemingly unrelated ingredients from different cuisines, like soy sauce (Asian), hot sauce (South Western) and turmeric (Indian), they all blended together very harmoniously. I thought of it as a melting pot marinade and wanted to try it just because of the interesting combination. I marinated the steak for about 12 hours and then grilled it for 8 minutes at 375? on the George Foreman indoor grill. I served it with with recipe #179450 and recipe #173262 and my DH discovered that the 3 recipes together make a delicious sandwich. Thanks for sharing this one, Happy Hippie! Made and enjoyed for the February 2012 African Recipe Tag game. :)

I really like flank steak and this was a great way to cook it. I made the marinade, added the fresh, scored flank steak and put it in the freezer to have at a later time. It turned out great and the 4 minutes a side was great for a very rare steak in the thickest part - just how I like it! We had this with recipe #277095 and carrots. Made for Kittencal's Grilling Game. Thanks Lauralie41! :)
