When it comes to grilling steaks for family or friends, one of my favorite cuts is the flank steak* – a large, flat cut that is both lean and full of beefy flavor.

In this Flank Steak Grilling How-to sponsored by Omaha Steaks, we'll start with a flavorful marinade as it’s one of a select few cuts of steak that really respond well and are enhanced by marinades (see my tequila-lime marinade recipe below). To marinate, simply place the flank steak in a zip top bag, pour in the marinade, remove excess air from the bag, seal, and refrigerate for at least 45 minutes and no more than 2 hours.
