Tips & Substitutions
For the best flavor, let the flank steak marinate for at least 30 minutes or overnight if possible. You can use any marinade mix you like, but a mixture with soy sauce and garlic works well. If you want to reduce fat, consider using turkey bacon instead of regular bacon. Ensure the steak is cut against the grain for tender slices.
