Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 pounds Flank steak
- 1.5 cups V8 vegetable juice
- 0.25 cups Soy sauce
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
In a medium bowl, whisk together the V8 juice, soy sauce, olive oil, minced garlic, brown sugar, black pepper, and smoked paprika to create the marinade.
Place the flank steak in a large resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the steak, making sure it is fully submerged. Seal the bag or cover the dish tightly with plastic wrap.
Refrigerate the steak and marinate for at least 4 hours, or for best results, overnight.
When ready to cook, remove the steak from the marinade and shake off any excess liquid. Let it sit at room temperature for about 20 minutes to ensure even cooking.
Preheat your grill or cast-iron skillet to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grill grates or pan to prevent sticking.
Cook the flank steak for 4-6 minutes per side, depending on your preferred doneness (5 minutes per side for medium-rare). Use a meat thermometer to ensure the internal temperature reaches 130°F (54°C) for medium-rare or 140°F (60°C) for medium.
Remove the steak from the heat and let it rest on a cutting board for 5-10 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.
Slice the steak thinly against the grain to ensure tenderness. Garnish with chopped parsley if desired.
Serve the V8 flank steak with your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a crisp salad.
