Marinated Flank Steak

This recipe is from our friends, Brad & Gitta.  Take an ordinary flank steak, marinate it overnight, grill it the next day and enjoy a flavourful masterpiece!  Great for those summer BBQs.  If you're serving a crowd, simply marinate two flank steaks, no need to double the recipe as it makes a lot of marinade.  You will use the marinade as a dipping sauce with the meat, so it doesn't go to waste.

Sorry no pictures of the grilled meat..... next time!

For 2 large flank steaks:

(serves 4 very hungry people or more)

• 20 oz beef consommé
• 2/3 c soy sauce
• 3-4 sliced green onions
• juice of one lemon ( or a few tsp vinegar)
• 1/4 c brown sugar
• 1 tbsp seasoned salt
• 1/2 tsp dry mustard
• 3/4 tsp pepper
• 3-4 minced garlic cloves
• 1/4 c olive oil
• 2 c beer

Score steak in diamond pattern on both sides.  Pour all of the mixture (not the beer) into a large shallow pan.  Place steak into pan in single layer, flip a few times to coat well with mixture.

Pour beer overtop, do not stir.  Marinate 24 hours in refrigerator.  Remove from refrigerator 1-2 hours prior to barbequing.

While barbequing steaks on med-high, heat marinade in sauce pan to boiling and let simmer.  Slice steak thinly against the grain in sloped direction and serve with marinade for dipping.

Serve with grilled asparagus and potatoes.
