Ingredients for Alberta Flank Steak

  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • Red Wine
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • Fresh Ginger
  • Flank Steaks

How to Make Alberta Flank Steak

  1. In a shallow dish, whisk together 1/4 cup soy sauce, 1/4 cup red wine, 2 tablespoons vegetable oil, 1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger (or 1 clove minced garlic).
  2. Score the flank steak with shallow criss-cross cuts at 2-inch intervals. Add the steak to the marinade, ensuring it's fully coated. Turn to coat both sides.
  3. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, turning the steak occasionally.
  4. Remove the steak from the marinade, reserving the marinade.
  5. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Grill the steak for 4-6 minutes per side, or until it reaches your desired doneness (use a meat thermometer for accuracy). Baste with the reserved marinade during the last few minutes of grilling.
  6. Remove the steak from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
  7. Slice the steak diagonally across the grain into thin slices. Serve immediately and enjoy!
  8. (Optional) Serve with your favorite BBQ sides like corn on the cob, potato salad, or coleslaw.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
