Grilled Marinated Flank Steak

SECRET INGREDIENT A tangy marinade sweetened with apple juice instead of sugar does double-duty when reduced to a sauce for grilled steak. In addition to Worcestershire sauce, mustard, and hot sauce, the marinade is further enlivened by an optional splash of whiskey.

Recipe information

  • Yield

    serves 8

Ingredients

6 garlic cloves, minced
Coarse salt and ground pepper
1 quart unsweetened apple juice
2 tablespoons whole-grain mustard
2 tablespoons olive oil, plus more for grill
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
2 teaspoons hot sauce, such as Tabasco
1/4 cup whiskey (optional)
2 flank steaks (about 1 1/2 pounds each), pierced all over with a fork

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    1 In a 9-by-13-inch baking dish, whisk together garlic, 1/2 teaspoon each salt and pepper, the apple juice, mustard, oil, Worcestershire, hot sauce, and whiskey, if desired. Add steaks and turn to coat; marinate at room temperature 1 hour, turning occasionally (or cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate up to 1 day).

    Step 2

    Transfer steaks from marinade to a platter, letting excess drip off. Pour marinade into a large saucepan. Bring to a boil over high heat; cook until thickened and reduced to about 1 cup, 20 to 25 minutes. Season sauce with salt and pepper.

    Step 3

    Meanwhile, heat grill to high; clean and lightly oil grates. Grill steaks, turning once, until well browned and cooked to desired doneness, 6 to 8 minutes per side for medium-rare. Transfer steaks to a cutting board, and tent with foil. Let rest 10 minutes before thinly slicing against the grain. Serve with sauce.
