DIRECTIONS
DIRECTIONS
Smokey Sally Marinade:
Mix all the ingredients together and let the marinade sit for at least 1-24 hours before use to allow the flavors to meld.
Flank Steak:
Place the flank steak in a large plastic bag or shallow dish and pour half of the marinade over it. Make sure the meat is well-coated. Let it marinate in the fridge for at least 2 hours, or overnight for even better flavor.
Preheat your grill to high heat. Remove the flank steak from the fridge and let it come to room temperature. Place the steak on the hot grill and cook for 4-6 minutes per side for medium-rare (depending on thickness). For accuracy, use a meat thermometer: 52-54°C (125-130°F) for medium-rare.
Once done, remove the steak from the grill and let it rest for 10 minutes, covered with foil. Slice the flank steak thinly across the grain. Serve topped with the remaining Smokey Sally BBQ sauce and a fresh summer salad.
Enjoy!
