We have made this over an open fire pit, which is really yummy, and also on a gas grill. Try serving it with onions, peppers and potatoes grilled in a foil pack. Valerie Chipman - Lisbon, Maine

Easy Grilled Flank Steak Recipe

Prep: 20 min. + marinating Grill: 15 min.

Yield: 4 Servings

20 15 35

Ingredients

1 small onion, chopped
1/2 cup dry red wine or reduced-sodium beef broth
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 teaspoon brown sugar
1/4 teaspoon pepper
2 fresh sage leaves, thinly sliced or 3/4 teaspoon dried sage leaves
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon minced fresh gingerroot
1 beef flank steak (1 pound)

Directions

In a large resealable plastic bag, combine the first nine ingredients. Score the surface of the beef, making diamond shapes 1/4 in. deep; place in bag. Seal bag and turn to coat; refrigerate for 8 hours or overnight.
Drain and discard marinade. Using long-handled tongs, moisten a paper towel with cooking oil and lightly coat the grill rack. Grill steak, covered, over medium heat or broil 4 in. from the heat for 6-8 minutes on each side or until meat reaches desired doneness (for medium-rare, a meat thermometer should read 145°; medium, 160°; well-done, 170°).
Let stand for 5 minutes; thinly slice across the grain. Yield: 4 servings.

I made this recipe in order to test it out for our office BBQ. I found it quite good except that I believe that I would add more salt and perhaps some rosemary. Definate do over and on this weeks work BBQ menue!
