How to Make a Steak Tender?

Pounding the meat before cooking and breaking down the fiber is the first way. The 2nd is the use of lemon juice in this marinade and its acidic nature to tenderize the steak.

How long should a steak marinate?

The steak should soak well in the marinade the minute the marinade is ready. I usually let them marinate overnight to get a full flavor; however, they should marinate for at least two hours.

How to tell when the steak is Cooked?

• It really comes right down to how you like it done, to learn when a steak is done. However, remember that there’s a suggested safe temp from the USDA of 145 F to kill off any bacteria that could be harmful.
• To know when the steak is done to your liking, always use the meat thermometer and insert the thermometer through the medial side of the steak horizontally and head to the middle of the thickest piece.

• Bear in mind color isn’t always the easiest way to know doneness as some steaks are simply naturally lighter than others in the first place, and you don’t wish to cut into a steak while cooking, or you’ll lose a good amount of juices.

Here is a list of steak doneness by temperature:

• Rare: 125 F – 130 F (not advised for food safety)
• Medium rare: 130 F – 135 F
• Medium: 135F – 145 F
• Medium well: 145 F – 150 F
• Well Done: 150 F – 160 F

I have a few tricks to make this flank steak the most flavorful you’ve ever tasted. Placing the meat in the marinade for about an hour before it hits the grill increases the flavor intensity.

After that, grill on very hot plates to make awesome grill marks, and the lean beef cooks very fast.

The Benefits of Marinating Flank Steak

The marinade benefits the steak in two ways, by infusing the dissolved water ingredients into the inside of the steak. From the soy sauce, ginger, garlic, salt, onion, honey, and fish sauce, making your every bite full of flavors. Black pepper and chili in sriracha give flavor to the surface of the flank steaks.

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup of soy sauce
• 1/3 cup of olive oil
• 1/4 cup of red onions, minced
• 2 ounces of maple syrup
• 1 Tablespoon of ginger, minced
• 1 Tablespoon of cilantro, chopped
• 1 teaspoon of salt

• 1 teaspoon of sriracha
• 1/4 of a teaspoon of black pepper
• 2 pounds of flank steak

Grilled Flank Steak with Asian Marinade

• Whisk the soy sauce, red onion, vegetables, garlic, ginger, maple syrup, cilantro, sriracha, fish sauce, salt, and black pepper. For this, you’ll need a medium-sized bowl.
• Add a quarter of a cup of marinade and lime juice to a small bowl, and put aside.
• Take a baking dish and put the flank steak inside.
• Pour the marinade mixture on the steaks and place them into the refrigerator for half an hour. Also, cover the dish so the aromas are sealed nicely.
• After half an hour has passed, flip the steak and leave it to marinate for another 30 minutes.
• Prepare the paper towels, remove the flank steak from the dish with the marinade and dry them just enough to remove the excess moisture from the surface of the steak.
• Heat the grill to about 450 degrees F.
• Spray the steaks with cooking spray, just lightly. Or you can put some oil on the paper towel and gently grease the steaks so you don’t wash off the marinade on the surface.
• When the grill is heated, place the steak on the grill. Be sure to close the lid.
• Cook for around 4 minutes or until charred marks is visible on the steak.
• Flip them over and cook 2-5 minutes more or until your preferred doneness is achieved. I like mine medium. You can check the inside temperature with a meat thermometer. For medium cooked, it should be around 135 degrees F.
• Take the cutting board and place the meat on it. Tent with foil and leave it to rest for about 10 minutes.
• Slice the steak and pour the marinade you’ve previously left over the flank steak. Enjoy
