A favorite steak marinade that’s simple and delicious, this lime marinated flank steak turns out tender and juicy every time.

Flank steak is a cut of meat that is easy to prepare, it’s usually more affordable than most cuts of steak, and it can be prepared to be so delicious. The key with making a good grilled flank steak is to use a tasty marinade, give the steak time to soak it all up, and finally to slice the grilled steak thinly.

Ingredients needed:

• freshly squeezed lime juice
• lime zest
• soy sauce
• green onions
• fresh ginger
• red pepper flakes
• flank steak
• kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

How to make Lime Marinated Flank Steak:

The full, printable recipe is at the end of this post.

The first step is marinating the steak. Place the marinade ingredients in a large zip bag. Add the steak, seal the bag and let the steak sit in the refrigerator for about an hour. Turn the bag occasionally.

Heat the grill to high and spray the grates with nonstick spray. Drain the marinade from the steak and season with salt and pepper. Place the steak on the grill and cover. Cook, turning the steak once until it reaches your desired level of doneness- probably about 6 minutes per side, or longer. It’s best to test with an instant-read thermometer to find out the temperature inside the steak- 145 degrees for medium rare and 160 degrees for medium.)

Move the grilled steak to a cutting board, and slice it thinly.

Hot tip for grilling steak:

I use a meat tenderizer every time I grill steak. It’s one of those poky gadgets that you use to pierce both sides of the steak. Then when it’s marinating, the marinade has a chance to seep into all of those holes within the steak. A friend showed me how to do this a couple of years ago, and I’ve used one ever since. It’s a game changer for making amazing grilled steak!

You can serve this lime marinated flank steak with lime wedges for squeezing (optional), and sprinkle some more chopped green onions on top just to make things look pretty. Enjoy!
