Steps:
- Score the flank steak by making shallow crisscross cuts on both sides.
- Place the olive oil, light brown sugar, red wine, soy sauce, onion powder, honey, green onions, garlic cloves, garlic vinegar, ground ginger, and garlic powder in a blender. Puree until smooth; pour mixture into a resealable plastic bag. Add the steak, coat with the marinade, squeeze out excess air, and seal the bag. Marinate in the refrigerator overnight.
- Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat, and lightly oil the grate.
- Allow the flank steak to rest at room temperature for 20 minutes. Remove the steak from the marinade, and shake off excess. Pour the marinade into a small saucepan and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer for 10 minutes; set aside.
- Grill the steak on the preheated grill until it starts to firm, and is reddish-pink and juicy in the center, about 7 minutes per side, basting often with the sterilized marinade. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 130 degrees F (54 degrees C).

SOUTHWESTERN FLANK STEAK MARINADE
Use for flank or skirt steak (or meat of choice). Make sure that all surfaces of the meat have contact with the marinade. Allow to marinate up to 2 hours; cook as desired. I generally grill a flank steak for sandwiches or tacos when I'm feeling the need for something fun. It's got a Southwestern flair to it, but is still agreeable enough for my 4-year-old's palate. Or build a sandwich or some fajitas with some grilled onions and roasted red peppers... Delicious!

NORTH AFRICAN MARINADE FOR FLANK STEAK
This is a recipe I found in my "The Complete Meat Cookbook" by Bruce Aidells and Denis Kelly. Posting for ZWT event so untried by me, but sounds like something we would enjoy. They stated: ""North African Marinade is also excellent for butterflied leg of lamb, lamb kebabs, or veal shanks. The recipe makes enough marinade for a 4 to 5-pound butterflied leg of lamb or 3 to 4 pounds of lamb or veal shank."

This should take roughly 4 to 5 minutes per side on a standard grill.
- Allow the steak to rest for 5 minutes, covered loosely with aluminum foil, before carving into 1/4-inch-thick diagonal slices across the grain.

Steps:
- Combine ingredients, add sliced flank steak, and let marinate for 4-5 hours in refrigerator if possible.

Tips:
- Choose the right flank steak: Look for a flank steak that is about 1 1/2 to 2 inches thick and has good marbling. This will ensure that the steak is tender and flavorful after marinating.
- Use a flavorful marinade: The marinade is what will give your flank steak its flavor, so be sure to choose one that you like. There are many different flank steak marinade recipes available, so you can find one that suits your taste.
- Marinate the steak for at least 30 minutes: The longer you marinate the steak, the more flavor it will absorb. However, you can marinate the steak for up to 24 hours if you want a really intense flavor.
- Cook the steak over high heat: Flank steak is a thin cut of meat, so it cooks quickly. Be sure to cook it over high heat so that it doesn't become tough.
- Let the steak rest before slicing: Once you've cooked the steak, let it rest for a few minutes before slicing. This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, making it more tender and flavorful.
Conclusion:
Flank steak is a delicious and affordable cut of meat that can be easily marinated and cooked. By following these tips, you can make sure that your flank steak is tender, flavorful, and cooked to perfection. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy weeknight meal, give flank steak a try!
