Provided by bjalg

Categories     Flat Iron Steak

Time 2h

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 13

¼ cup fresh lime juice
3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
⅓ cup fresh grapefruit juice
2 tablespoons rice vinegar
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon soy sauce
2 teaspoons chili garlic sauce
2 teaspoons honey
1 ½ teaspoons minced fresh ginger root
1 teaspoon garlic salt
½ teaspoon black pepper
1 pinch ground cinnamon
1 (1 pound) flat iron steak

Steps:

  • Whisk together lime juice, lemon juice, grapefruit juice, rice vinegar, olive oil, soy sauce, chili garlic sauce, and honey in a bowl until the honey has dissolved. Season with ginger, garlic salt, pepper, and cinnamon; whisk until blended. Place the flat iron steak into a resealable plastic bag, and pour the marinade overtop. Squeeze out the excess air, seal, and marinate in the refrigerator 1 1/2 hours. Do not marinate much longer than this, as the citrus juice will "cook" the beef.
  • Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat.
  • Remove flat iron from the marinade, and discard the remaining marinade. Cook on preheated grill until the steak has attained your desired degree of doneness, about 2 minutes per side for medium-rare. Place steak onto a plate, set aside, and allow to rest for 3 to 4 minutes before slicing.

Tips:

  • For the best flavor, use high-quality, fresh ingredients.
  • If you don't have flat-iron steak, you can substitute flank steak or skirt steak.
  • Be sure to marinate the steak for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight.
  • When cooking the steak, don't overcrowd the pan. This will cause the steak to steam instead of sear.
  • Cook the steak over medium-high heat until it reaches your desired doneness.
  • Let the steak rest for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
  • Garnish the steak with fresh herbs, such as cilantro or parsley.

Conclusion:

This citrus ginger flat iron steak recipe is a delicious and flavorful way to enjoy a healthy meal. The steak is tender and juicy, and the citrus ginger marinade gives it a unique and refreshing flavor. This recipe is also relatively easy to make, making it a great option for a weeknight meal. Serve the steak with your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or rice.
