Tips & Substitutions
For optimal flavor, choose a high-quality flank steak, as it benefits from marinating. If you don't have Italian dressing, a mix of olive oil, vinegar, and Italian herbs can serve as a substitute. To enhance the umami, consider adding soy sauce or balsamic vinegar to the marinade. Always slice the steak against the grain for tenderness, which is crucial for flank steak's texture.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the marinated London broil or flank steak thinly sliced over a fresh salad, or alongside roasted vegetables for a hearty meal. It pairs beautifully with Homemade Beef Stew or the comforting Chili Cornbread Bake. Consider serving with crusty bread to soak up any juices or a side of your favorite dipping sauce.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover marinated steak in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. To reheat, place the sliced steak in a skillet over low heat with a splash of beef broth or water to prevent drying out. Heat until warmed through, being careful not to overcook the meat.
