Is This Flank Steak Marinade Healthy?

What’s Special About Flank Steak?
As an affordable, versatile cut of beef, flank steak creates a great pick for marinades. It’s cut from the cow’s abdominal muscles and is chewier than more expensive cuts. Flank is a worthy pick for everything from fajitas to Asian stir-fry. Using this marinade recipe helps turn this budget protein into a tender, flavor-packed centerpiece for any meal.
How To Make Ahead And Store
Of course, this recipe requires 2 hours of soaking the meat in marinade before cooking, but you can soak it for up to 24 hours. The marinade itself will keep in the fridge (in a mason jar) for up to 4 days.
Leftover steak can be stored in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Reheat it on the stove at medium temperature or pop it in the oven at 375°F for 15 minutes, or until it sizzles.
Serving Suggestions
This steak is the perfect main to be complemented by classics like Sour Cream Mashed Potatoes and cornbread. For a burst of sweetness and fresh greens, try it with a hearty and healthy side of Broccoli-Apple Salad. The flavors mix and mingle well between the veggies and meat marinade!
