How Do I Grill Flank Steak?
It’s time to move the BBQ flank steak from the oven and out onto the grill!!
Start by heating the grill and coals to high; lightly spray grates with cooking spray.
Place the BBQ flank steak on grill over highest heat to sear and then move the steak to the lower portion of the grill to cook the steak evenly.
Cook, turning once, until you reach your desired doneness, 6 to 8 minutes per side for medium-rare (130 to 135 degrees on an instant-read thermometer).
Place your BBQ flank steak on a cutting board and add another thin layer of Blackberry Chipotle Sauce; cover loosely with foil. Let stand 10 minutes.
Cut the BBQ flank steak thin diagonally across grain into thin slices. That’s it!!!!
Pro Tips for Perfect Grilled Steak
- Remove your steak from the refrigerator 30 minutes before cooking and let it come to room temp for even cooking.
- Let your steak rest for 10 minutes before cutting to ensure the juices have time to distribute throughout your steak so it is super juicy when you cut into it.
- Cut flank steak into thin slices against the grain to maximize it’s flavor and texture.
- Don’t have a grill? No worries! Preheat your oven broiler to high. Place your marinated flank steak on a sheet pan and cook, turning once halfway through, for about 6 minutes per side for medium-rare. Add an extra minute or two if you are looking for a more well done steak. Let rest before slicing and serving.
I hope you step a bit out of your comfort zone like I did and go wild with these products.
