My sister, Kathy, and I often exchange recipes and this grilled flank steak recipe is from her. It's become a favorite of mine to serve to company. The meat and vegetables can be prepared ahead of time. When company arrives, just fire up the grill! —Jenny Reece, Farwell, Minnesota

Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons white vinegar
  • 1 green onion, sliced
  • 1-1/2 teaspoons garlic powder
  • 1-1/2 teaspoons ground ginger
  • 3 tablespoons honey
  • 3/4 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 beef flank steak (about 1-1/2 pounds)
  • 1 pound fresh mushrooms, sliced
  • 1 green pepper, cut into thin strips
  • 1 yellow or sweet red pepper, cut into thin strips
  • 3 carrots, cut into julienned strips

Directions

  1. In a bowl, combine the first 7 ingredients. Pour 3/4 cup marinade into a shallow dish; add the beef. Turn to coat; refrigerate, covered, for up to 24 hours, turning once. Cover and refrigerate remaining marinade.
  2. Drain and discard marinade. Grill flank steak, uncovered, over medium heat for 6-8 minutes on each side or until meat reaches desired doneness (for medium-rare, a thermometer should read 135°; medium, 140°; medium-well, 145°).
  3. Meanwhile, in a skillet, cook vegetables in reserved marinade until crisp-tender. Thinly slice steak across the grain. Serve with vegetables.
