How to Make Barbecued Flank Steak

  1. **Make the Marinade:** In a blender or food processor, combine 1/2 cup soy sauce, 1/4 cup Worcestershire sauce, 2 tablespoons olive oil, 2 tablespoons brown sugar, 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1 teaspoon onion powder, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper. Blend until smooth.
  2. **Marinate the Steak:** Place the flank steak (approximately 1.5 lbs) in a resealable baking dish. Pour the marinade over the steak, ensuring it's fully coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, turning once halfway through.
  3. **Prepare the Grill:** Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Alternatively, preheat your broiler.
  4. **Grill the Steak:** Grill the steak for 5-7 minutes per side, or until it reaches your desired level of doneness (internal temperature of 130-135°F for medium-rare). If broiling, place the steak on a baking sheet and broil for 5-7 minutes per side, keeping a close eye to prevent burning.
  5. **Rest and Serve:** Remove the steak from the grill or broiler and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing against the grain. Serve immediately with sautéed onions and mushrooms, baked potatoes, and a fresh green salad.
  6. **Sauté Onions and Mushrooms (Optional):** While the steak rests, sauté sliced onions and mushrooms in olive oil until softened and slightly browned. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
