All I can say is that this was one really great marinade. We loved it. I made it for grilled halibut and my family minus Miss Picky, loved it. Go figure they'd flip for fish these days. I didn't want to push my luck with the fish so just in case I also made it with a flank steak. Sort of Surf and Turf?
The leftover steak was just as good in a salad the next day. There was no fish left. You could have picked me up off the floor that they loved it so much. That was a complete shock. We're really doing well with the fish on the menu lately. So fish is on the menu again this week.
Soy Grilled Flank Steak
adapted by There's Always Thyme to Cook
Source: bbq.about.com
1 2-lb flank steak
2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons honey
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 tablespoon soy sauce
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 chopped serrano chile
salt and pepper to taste
Combine all ingredients, except the halibut, in a small saucepan over a medium heat. Mix until honey is dissolved. Preheat grill on medium-high. Place the flank steak on the grill and cook for about 6 minutes per side, basting with the marinade. Grill until desired doneness. Transfer to a cutting board and let stand 5 minutes. Thinly slice steaks diagonally across the grain.
Leftovers are great in a salad the next day. Delicious on steak, fish or chicken, too.

ReplyDeleteYour steak looks beautiful and the marinade sounds very tasty! I've book marked it-thanks:@)
ReplyDeleteI love flank steak....The marinade sounds delicious!
ReplyDeleteyumm, love steak , especialy when someone else makes it hahaha. Love that marinade, sounds spicy with the chilli in it :)
ReplyDeleteI love it when my family surprises me by eating something I'd never imagine they'd like. What a win!
ReplyDeleteI'll have some of that, please! It looks delicious, Carol!
ReplyDeleteGrilled flank steak is one of our favorites!! This looks delicious.
ReplyDeleteI love a great flank steak! My husband could eat beef every night of the week but we're really trying to eat more fish knowing that red meat isn't the best for us. As long as he can grill it - we'll eat it :) I love that this marinade can be used for fish too. I must try it!
ReplyDeleteI love flank steak and your marinade looks really good!
ReplyDeletethe marinade sounds pretty good, I always cook my meat with only salt and pepper but I love how this marinade sounds
ReplyDeletethis marinade would for sure win me over as well! Love those Asian flavors!
ReplyDeleteI'll be trying this on grilled steak this summer but in the meantime I'm sure I will enjoy it on fish.
ReplyDeleteNice marinade - simple but delicious. Is this the same marinade you used on your Asian Glazed Salmon?
ReplyDeleteNo, this one is a little different. But both are good on fish, steak and chicken!
DeleteI'm obsessed with flank steak!
ReplyDeleteLooks fantastic! My family would love this too!
ReplyDeleteOh how I love flank steak, especially on the grill, it reminds me of summer! Your's looks delicious and I like all the ingredients in your marinade! It's almost like mine, but you've kicked yours up a notch with the chili- I like that!
ReplyDeleteHave a yummy weekend!

I made the Corn Chowder recipe you posted awhile ago, and my husband and I loved it. I especially liked that 1% milk is used instead of cream. This flank steak sounds like a recipe I will use too.
ReplyDeleteGlad you liked the Chowder! I need to make that again too.
DeleteI could make this once a week and my family would love me for it. Yummy photos, Carol.
ReplyDeleteI'm going to give it a try! My family loves flank steak with rice and mango slices in lettuce wraps -- another use for leftover flank steak. Your photos turned out really good too :)
ReplyDeleteGreat idea for the leftovers, Libby. I'll definitely try it next time, thanks!
DeleteThis is one of my favorite ways to make flank steak - I think the flavor of soy goes so well with it! And now my mouth is totally watering for it. Looks awesome!
ReplyDeleteI love flank steak and I use a very, very similar marinade. It is great on chicken and pork tenderloin too. You'll use it for everything. And everyone loves it. I'm going to give your version with the chilies a try.
ReplyDeleteCount me in as another flank steak lover. We love to grill during the summer. My husband makes a similar marinade but has never added the chiles. Must give it a try. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteCarol that looks so good! Cooked to perfection.
ReplyDeleteFantastic marinade. Wish I could get steak to turn out like that.
ReplyDeleteFish is a great food for kids and adults. Try to give them as much as possible. My picky son likes his fish teriyaki so who am I to change this. I give him exactly that and I get him to eat a lot of fish! The flank steak looks terrific very juicy and soft Carol!
ReplyDeleteWow - a marinade that is great for both fish and beef? I have to try this one. Copying right now.
ReplyDeleteThat looks really good. I love all those flavors in a marinade.
ReplyDeletethat steak looks so good..I would go right to the salad with it.
ReplyDeleteA really yummy looking salad! One of my favorite kind of meals :)
ReplyDeleteI love me a good steak and this one looks delicious!
ReplyDeleteThis looks good I have a good marinade but with many more steps. I'll try this one!
ReplyDeletethis looks delicious! I really need to include more fish in our diet but my son is somewhat reticent!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea! I have a Mark Bittman soy marinade that I used to love on flank steak - now The Child won't eat meat so I never get it. She will eat fish though so I'm going to try it on halibut - thanks for the inspiration!
ReplyDeletewah! looks good!
ReplyDeleteI'm always looking for a great marinade! This sounds wonderful!
ReplyDeleteThat looks delicious, so much better than fish! Almost anything is better than fish to me!
ReplyDeleteI have never used a recipe for a marinade, just throw it in the bowl and mix it up. I will have to study yours!
Oh this looks so delicious!!
ReplyDeleteI can tell by the ingredients and the picture this is a hit!!! thanks.
ReplyDeleteHi Carol, I found you through Souper Sundays! Your soy grilled flank steak looks so good! Definitely plan to make it. I've Pinned it so I don't forget :)
ReplyDeleteHalibut is the best. Love that buttery taste. Your salad with your steak looks great too. That marinade sounds yum. We grilled for the first time this year. Just burgers though!
ReplyDeleteThat marinade sounds delicious and I love how versatile it is. Your salad looks hearty and wonderful too. Thanks for sharing it with Souper Sundays. ;-)
ReplyDeleteThe marinade looks great, Carol. And so does that steak salad, BTW!
ReplyDeleteYummie, this flank steak looks delicious...love the marinade :)
ReplyDeleteHope you have a wonderful week ahead Carol!
That looks so sumptuous! Love that pale red cause I do not like it well done.
ReplyDeleteThe garnish is just as pretty as the steak!
Sounds like this is a super-versatile marinade and can use for all kind of meat. Your steak looks very delicious.
ReplyDeleteI swear I left an earlier comment, but I guess I didn't. My family would be happy if I prepared flank steak just like this on a regular basis. We love a good flank steak and the marinade gives it so much flavor. You cooked it perfectly for my taste, Carol.
ReplyDeleteYou did leave a comment, I got the email notification but when I went to look there was no comment. Blogger must have had an issue.
DeleteCathy, for some reason your first comment ended up in the blogger spam folder. Didn't even realize there was one, usually there are notifications. I just found 6 other comments there!
DeleteI love a great flank steak...saving this recipe for dinner tomorrow. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteI love a nicely grilled steak, and one marinaded like this looks traffic!
ReplyDeleteI tend to use the same marinade recipe all the time. It's quite similar to this one, Nice to hear that your family likes it as well as mine does.
ReplyDeleteCan't have flank steak without a good marinade. It makes it taste great. I like your recipe but with out the chile. Otherwise, it's a great recipe!
ReplyDeleteCan't have flank steak without a good marinade. It's what makes the steak taste so good. I like your recipe, but I would leave out the chile. Otherwise, it's perfect. I'd love to taste it on fish, which I eat a lot of these days.
ReplyDeleteSounds delish, I've used something similar but without butter - I bet that gives it a really nice touch!
ReplyDeleteHappy WEdnesday!
ReplyDeleteThe marinade looks wonderful - I love that you topped it on a beautiful salad.
ReplyDeleteI love your blog and am so inspired by all of the great ideas you share with us
ReplyDeletemmm!! Steak! I've always been intimidated by making steaks! The "beast" seems impossible to tame! It always ends up either too hard or too raw! lol
ReplyDeleteAnything with soy and honey and I'm in, thanks.
ReplyDeleteBTW You are welcome to join in my food blogger event THE SOUP KITCHEN, here all bloggers are welcome, hope to see you participate soon.
