Flank Steak Marinated Recipe
Flank steak is the cow's lower chest or abdominal muscle. Since it's muscle that's used a lot, the flank is a thick-grained, low-fat cut.
Ingredients
- 1.5 pound flank steak
- ½ cup steak marinade (we love Allegro)
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 2 tbsp lime juice
- 1 tbsp minced garlic
- ¼ cup jalapeño, seeded and chopped
- ¼ cup red onion, chopped
- 2 tbsp fajita seasoning* (see note below)
Instructions
- Combine the steak marinade, olive oil, lime juice, garlic, red onion, and jalapenos. Pour the marinade over the steak and marinade at least 30 minutes (the longer the better).
- When ready to cook, heat a skillet, griddle or grill to high heat (approximately 400 degrees).
- Sprinkle the fajita seasoning on the top (least fatty side) of the steak. Place the steak fatty side down and cook for approximately 6 minutes. Flip and cook an additional 5-6 minutes.**
Notes
Notes:
We use a fajita seasoning blend for this recipe, if you prefer, you can use taco seasoning. The Fajita seasoning blend we recommend is listed below. You will need 2 tablespoons of this blend for the marinated flank steak.
