Ingredients
Instructions
- Score the top of the steak.
- Rub the steak with garlic powder and Tabasco.
- Pour Kikkoman soy sauce over the steak.
- Marinate for at least 6 hours.
- Cook on the grill for about 8 minutes on one side and 7 minutes on the other side.
Tips & Substitutions
For a more intense flavor, consider adding a splash of Worcestershire sauce to the marinade. If you don’t have Kikkoman soy sauce, any good-quality soy sauce will work. To ensure even cooking, let the flank steak sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes before grilling. Also, remember to let the steak rest for a few minutes after cooking to retain its juices.
Serving Suggestions
Serve this flank steak sliced against the grain for the best texture. It pairs beautifully with grilled vegetables, a fresh salad, or even a baked potato. For a complete meal, consider serving it with a side of your favorite American recipes, such as Superb Chili or Cheddarburger Loaf, to complement the flavors.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover flank steak in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, slice the steak and warm it gently in a skillet over medium heat, adding a splash of beef broth to keep it moist. Avoid reheating in the microwave, as it can make the meat tough.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long should I marinate the flank steak?
Marinating the flank steak for at least 6 hours is recommended for optimal flavor, but if you have more time, marinating overnight will enhance the taste even further. Just be cautious not to exceed 24 hours, as the acidity from the marinade can start to break down the meat too much.
Can I grill the flank steak indoors?
If outdoor grilling isn’t an option, you can use a grill pan on your stovetop. Preheat the pan over medium-high heat and follow the same cooking times. Alternatively, broiling in the oven is another effective method to achieve a similar result.
What sides go well with flank steak?
Flank steak pairs well with a variety of sides like roasted potatoes, grilled asparagus, or a simple green salad. You can also serve it with a hearty grain like quinoa or rice for a more filling meal. Consider a chimichurri sauce for an extra burst of flavor.
