This amazing Grilled Flank Steak Marinade is so easy and is definitely a crowd-pleaser!
Whether you are reading this in the middle of summer or the dead of winter you need to figure out a way to fire up that grill and try this amazing grilled flank steak marinade. Anytime we are having company I make it! And, like I said, I don’t even care if I have to put on snow boots to walk it out to the grill. Ha! This is a family favorite and the best part? Only a few simple ingredients are required to make this meat candy.
Here are the ingredients ready for their photoshoot. 😉
Amazing Grilled Flank Steak Marinade Ingredients:
½ C. soy sauce
3 T. brown sugar
2 T. lemon juice
1 chopped onion
4 cloves garlic—pressed
¼ t. pepper
2 T. oil
I usually buy my flank steaks from Costco. Two come in a package. I would double the marinade recipe because, believe me, you’ll want leftovers so go ahead and grill both steaks at the same time.
Using a sharp knife, score the flank steaks lightly in a criss-cross pattern (you can see it in the grilling photo below) on both sides and then put both steaks and the marinade into a gallon size ziploc bag. Here it shall remain overnight.
Now take those deliciously infused steaks out and grill! I do high heat on both sides for about 1-2 minutes each to sear the meat. Then I turn down the heat a bit and do a few more minutes on each side.
Remove from grill. Let it sit for a minute so the juices absorb back into the meat. Then cut into strips and enjoy!

Wow that looks absolutely delicious and love the photos! Steak has always been one of my favorite foods to cook! Great tips as well, thanks for sharing this!
I have been using this marinade for my flank or flat steaks for several years now. It is by far the absolute BEST marinade you will ever make. The steaks taste delicious every time I make it. Just don’t use with a cube type steak…use with a dense steak.
We love it too! Good tip on the steak! Thanks Ellie!
I feel it’s about time I comment on this recipe as I’ve now been using it for about 2 years. It is hands down the best flank steak marinade ever!! Since I started using this recipe I haven’t made flank steak any other way. My husband and son both love it and everyone I’ve made it for asks for the recipe! When she says you’re going to want to double it, it’s true! Thank you so much for sharing this amazing recipe!
