Marinated Flank Steak Recipe | Sonoran Style
I marinated myself a flank steak using my mom's recipe from the 1980's, adding in some Mexican oregano and extra citrus to #sonoranize it a bit so now it's an Ohio meets Tucson recipe. 

Ingredients

  • one 1-pound flank steak
  • 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
  • 4 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon Lea and Perrins Worcestershire Sauce
  • Juice from 1/2 lemon (about 2 tablespoons)
  • 1 tablespoon Heinz Chili Sauce
  • 1 teaspoon coarse sea salt, preferably Sonoran
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon Tabasco sauce
  • 3 cloves garlic smashed with the side of a chef's knife
  • 2 tablespoons Mexican oregano

Instructions

  • Pound the flank steak to about one half inch thickness with a meat mallet, then lightly score the surface on both sides with a sharp knife.
  • Seal the meat and all of the marinade ingredients in a resealable plastic bag, then massage the bag to combine the ingredients.
  • Marinate 8-12 hours or overnight, turning the bag over halfway through. Grill over medium heat until medium rare, about 4 minutes on each side. Be careful to not overcook.
  • Let sit for 10 minutes to let juices  settle before slicing thin across the grain. Serve alone or as tacos on flour tortillas.
