How to Keep Flank Steak Tender Not Tough
Grilling steaks is a tradition at summer barbeques and fall football tailgates. Flank steak, known popularly as London Broil, can be a challenge to keep tender. But the results will be tasty and tender if you follow a few simple preparation and cooking rules.
Start off by preparing your favorite marinade in which the steak can soak up flavor. Put the flank steak and the marinade into a plastic bag together and refrigerate them overnight. After the steak is marinated, sprinkle it with your favorite seasoning. You can use spices or just plain salt and pepper. Now it’s time to throw the marinated and seasoned steak on a hot grill and get cooking.
For the most tender flank steak, grill each side for four to six minutes until the steak is medium rare. Remove it from the grill, cover it with foil and allow another ten minutes for the steak to rest. During the resting process, the juices will settle back into the steak.
Don’t be afraid of the challenge of keeping tough flank steaks tender. Take the advice of experienced grill masters to create a tender flank steak for your guests to savor at your next barbeque or tailgate.Still bored? Click to continue: Rosemary Flank Steak
