Steps:
- 1. Combine all marinade ingredients in a bowl, whisking to emulsify.
- 2. Place the marinade in two separate gallon-sized Ziploc bags. Add one flank steak to each bag. Zip bags closed and shake to evenly coat the meat. Then place in a metal pan and into the fridge. Marinate the steak overnight turning several times to evenly coat the meat.
- 3. Preheated the grill to medium-high heat (375 F).
