Category: Meat
Keywords: < 60 Mins, Freezer, Easy

Ingredients:

  • 1 medium onion, finely chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2/3 cup low sodium beef broth
  • 1 cup low sodium soy sauce
  • 1/2 cup red wine vinegar
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground allspice
  • 1/2 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
  • 1 flank steak (about 1 1/2 pounds), trimmed of fat

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Marinade: Start by coating a small nonstick skillet with cooking spray. Heat the skillet over medium-high heat until it becomes hot. Add the finely chopped onion and minced garlic to the skillet. Sauté them, stirring frequently, until they are tender and fragrant.

  2. Combine Marinade Ingredients: Once the onion and garlic are softened, pour in the low sodium beef broth, low sodium soy sauce, red wine vinegar, and brown sugar. Sprinkle in the ground allspice and grated fresh ginger. Stir the mixture well to combine all the ingredients thoroughly. Bring the mixture to a boil and let it cook for about 1 minute. Remove the skillet from heat and allow the marinade to cool completely.

  3. Prepare the Steak: While the marinade is cooling, trim any excess fat from the flank steak. Cut the steak into two equal halves to fit conveniently into ziplock freezer bags.

  4. Marinate the Steak: Place each half of the steak into separate ziplock freezer bags. Pour half of the cooled marinade into each bag, making sure the steak is well-coated. Seal the bags tightly, ensuring no air is trapped inside. You can now choose to freeze these bags for future use or let them marinate in the refrigerator for at least 8 hours to allow the flavors to infuse deeply into the meat.

  5. Cook the Steak: When you’re ready to cook, remove the steak from the bags and discard the marinade. Preheat your broiler. Coat a broiler pan with cooking spray and place the steak on the pan. Broil the steak for approximately 6 minutes on each side, or until it reaches your desired level of doneness.

  6. Rest and Slice: After broiling, let the steak rest for 5-10 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute. Once rested, slice the steak diagonally across the grain into 1/4 inch thick slices. This technique will ensure tender, flavorful pieces of steak for your meal.

Enjoy this savory, spiced flank steak with your favorite sides for a quick and delicious dinner that’s perfect for any day of the week. The advance preparation and freezer-friendly nature make it a convenient choice for busy lifestyles, ensuring that a flavorful, home-cooked meal is always within reach! 🌟🍽️
