Dad's Grilled Flank Steak

ummmm, delicious. I have never had a marinade flavor a meat like this one does. It tastes amazing, smells amazing and it IS amazing. Plus, this is a grilled recipe, which is super handy because usually someone else does the bbqing. I usually like to serve this with twice baked potatoes and some grilled asparagus. mmmmm.



1 to 1 1/2 lb flank steak

Marinade:
1/2 c. light soy sauce (full sodium works fine too - just don't blame me when you are all swollen from water retention)
1/2 c. orange or pineapple juice
3 T. dijon style mustard
2 T. grated fresh ginger or 1 tsp ground ginger
2 T. tomato paste or ketchup
1 t. ground cumin
1/2 t. black pepper
2 small cloves garlic - minced

In a ziploc bag mix together all the marinade ingredients. Add the flank steak and allow to marinade 4-8 hours.

When you are ready to eat: heat up the BBQ, grill the flank steak on each side 8-12 minutes or until desired doneness (8 minutes per side = medium). Remove from heat and cover with foil for about 5 minutes to allow to rest. Cut the steak into slices on the bias.  Serve.
