How to make Marinated Flank Steak:
Steak Marinade: Add oil, soy sauce, peach juice, minced onion, and parsley to a large Ziploc bag, or container. Add the steak then marinate for 3-6 hours.
Grill: Flank steak is a thin cut of meat and you want to sear the outsides without overcooking the inside. Make sure the grill is preheated hot. And keep in mind the steak will continue to cook as it rests off the grill. We cook our flank steak on high heat for 3-4 minutes per side.
Rest the grilled flank steak for 5-10 minutes, covered with aluminum foil to keep warm.
To Serve: Slice meat across the grain, at a diagonal, in VERY THIN slices.
Recipe Variations:
