Flank steak Merinade

Bubba's dad · August 2010

I usually marinade my flank steak in Yoshida's and a some other spices. At a certain length of time does it ruin the meat? What is the perfect time to merinade?

Thanks

This my flank marinade. I leave it overnite. Beef takes a longer marinating time than chicken. And shrimp is only a few minutes. Plus, the more acid; the less time.
Don't forget to score the meat in shallow diagonal slits. This gives more surface area for the marinade.
I grill this hot direct. Doesn't take long.

Flank Steak Marinade

2 C cloudy orange French dressing
1/2 C lemon juice
3/4 C soy sauce
1/4 C Worcestershire sauce
1/4 C yellow mustard
1 clove crushed garlic or equivalent garlic pd.

Shake well. Cut very shallow X's in steak against the grain.
Marinate meat overnight in about 1/2 C of this sauce.
Refrigerate remaining sauce in a glass jar.
This is a good seasoning on burgers, either in the ground meat or as a BBQ sauce.
Also good as seasoning on leftover meat sliced thinly and sautéed.
Good for chicken BBQ too.

17 minutes and 46.7 seconds.

Just kidding. But as far as ruining the meat, yeah, that can happen.

It depends. If there is a lot of acid in the marinade (lemon/lime juice, vinegars, etc), then going too long will over marinate it. I don't let it go for more than 4-8 hours for a flank steak.

But if it is like yours it should be okay for a longer time. Btw, I like Yoshidas, good stuff!

I just did 2 2lbs in Lawry's Baja Chipotle liquid marinade. I had them sitting in a ziplock bag for about 24 hours, turning occasionally and shaking it up once in awhile. Turned out freaking amazing.

I am always one to use something store bought and is already in my pantry then to make 1 more dish in addition to the 9 others I just made or am about to make.
