Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 pounds Flank steak
- 0.5 cups Whiskey
- 0.25 cups Soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
- 3 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 2 teaspoons Fresh rosemary, chopped
- 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
Place the flank steak in a large resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish suitable for marinating.
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together the whiskey, soy sauce, olive oil, brown sugar, minced garlic, Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, black pepper, salt, and chopped rosemary until well combined.
Pour the marinade evenly over the flank steak, ensuring it is fully coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish with plastic wrap.
Refrigerate the steak and marinate it for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to penetrate the meat.
When ready to cook, remove the steak from the marinade and let it sit at room temperature for 20-30 minutes. Pat the steak dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
Preheat a grill or cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grill grates or skillet to prevent sticking.
Place the steak on the hot grill or skillet and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or until the desired level of doneness is reached. Use a meat thermometer if necessary (135°F for medium-rare).
Remove the steak from the heat and let it rest on a cutting board for 5-10 minutes to retain its juices.
Slice the steak against the grain into thin strips and transfer to a serving platter.
Garnish the steak with freshly chopped parsley and serve immediately. Pair with your favorite sides for a complete meal.
