Ina Garten Marinated Flank Steak Ingredients

• 2 pounds flank steak
• 1/3 cup soy sauce
• 1/3 cup olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
• 3 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped
• 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
• 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt

How To Make Ina Garten Marinated Flank Steak

1. Make the marinade: In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, olive oil, Dijon mustard, garlic, rosemary, pepper, and salt.
2. Marinate the steak: Place flank steak in a large resealable bag or shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the steak, turning to coat. Seal or cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.
3. Preheat grill or broiler: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat or your oven’s broiler.
4. Cook the steak: Remove the steak from marinade and discard any excess. Grill or broil for 4–5 minutes per side for medium-rare, or until desired doneness. Use a thermometer (130°F for medium-rare).
5. Rest the steak: Let the steak rest on a cutting board for 5–10 minutes to allow juices to settle.
6. Slice and serve: Slice thinly against the grain and serve immediately on a platter.

• Can I cook this indoors? Yes, a cast-iron skillet or broiler works well if you don’t have a grill.
• How to make it spicier: Add crushed red pepper flakes or a bit of chili paste to the marinade.

FAQs

Can I marinate the steak too long?
More than 24 hours can start to break down the texture too much—aim for 4–12 hours.

Do I have to slice against the grain?
Yes, it ensures the meat is tender and easier to chew.

Can I grill this from frozen?
It’s best thawed first to ensure even cooking.

Is this recipe gluten-free?
Use gluten-free soy sauce to make it fully gluten-free.

How do I know which way the grain runs?
Look for the direction of the muscle fibers and slice perpendicular to them.
