10 Minute Dinner Series: Oven Flank Steak

Oven+Flank+Steak+Dinner+Plate+__+CarolynWilliamsRD.jpeg

I’m so excited to start a brand new series on my blog and Youtube channel: 10 Minute Dinners! This is a BUSY time of year, especially when you have kids running around, and being able to whip up a quick and delicious recipe for dinner that is still healthy has been such a time saver for me!

The first recipe I’m sharing is one that I’ve shared on the blog before: Oven Flank Steak. I had to include this recipe in this series because it’s always a hit in my house and it really is so quick and convenient! It could even be great for meal-prepping and having during the week if you wanted to make a larger amount at one time. Check out my newest Youtube video below to watch how I make this awesome choice for dinner, and be sure to let me know if you try it out for yourself!

Recipe:

Flank steak is a thin, lean cut of beef that’s easy to season and perfect for slicing for fajitas, sandwiches, quesadillas, or just dinner. My favorite seasoning blend to use is Wildtree Rancher Steak Rub but McCormick Grill Mates Montreal Seasoning is a good one too - and has a lower-sodium option! And if you’re questioning putting steak in the oven, trust me on this!

INGREDIENTS

1 to 1½ pound flank steak
1 - 2 tablespoons steak seasoning (see above for my favs!)

METHOD

Place steak on a cutting board. Score steak, cutting in (but not through) steak going diagonally against grain. Sprinkle with seasoning and rub in. Turn steak over, and repeat process on other side. Place on a broiler pan.
Preheat broiler. Broil or grill steak 5 to 6 minutes*. Turn steak, and cook an additional 5 to 6 minutes or until desired degree of doneness. Let steak stand 5 minutes before slicing. Cut into thin strips.
*NOTE: Cook time is based on a 1-inch thick flank steak. If using a larger steak, increase broil time on both sides by 1 to 2 minutes, or until desired degree of doneness.
