Whiskey marinated flank steak

Once again, I adapted a recipe from Culinate for a delectable meal. Sometimes I make something then literally a week later I see that same something in their newsletter, and other times I go to them for ideas. We really are compatible. I was so happy to come across this one and then to purchase the last available flank steak from Prather Ranch Meat Co. at the farmers’ market. Luckily, I made it to the market at 8:15am when everyone was setting up (I know, that’s ridiculous…)

Ingredients

• 1 lb flank steak
• 4 Tbs whiskey (used a smokey scotch that wasn’t to my palette for drinking, but worked out well for marinating steak)
• 4 Tbs oil
• 4 Tbs soy sauce
• 2 Tbs brown sugar
• 1 tsp hot sauce
• 2 minced garlic cloves
• 1 tsp black pepper

Directions

1. Mix ingredients apart from steak and marinate steak in sauce you’ve created (flip to coat) for 4hr to all day.
2. Remove from marinade and either broil or grill to medium rare. As I have no grill, I just broiled on each side about 8 minutes, I would have preferred it pinker.
3. While meat is cooking, heat marinate in sauce pain and reduce (med-high). You can also add some other ingredients to taste at this time (herbs, spices, butter, wine, whatever).
4. Served with sauteed broccoli rabe atop polenta.
