Marinated Flank Steak

Flank steak can be oh so tender, when you treat it right. Two secrets: Marinate it first, then grill it quickly over direct medium heat. Yoghurt is an excellent marinade base for tougher cuts like this because it’s a great tenderizer.
Ingredient List
- 1 cup Mountain High® original, lowfat or fat free plain yoghurt
- 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
- 2 tablespoons Italian seasoning
- 1 teaspoon pepper
- 2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
- 1 1/2 pounds flank steak (about 1-inch thick)
Preparation
- Combine all ingredients except steak in a small bowl. Mix well. Pour mixture into a resealable gallon plastic bag. Add flank steak, press air out of bag and seal. Turn and squeeze bag to coat steak all over. Place in refrigerator and let marinate up to 4 hours, turning occasionally to distribute marinade. Remove meat from marinade; discard marinade.
- Grill meat directly over medium heat for 8 to 10 minutes for medium rare, or longer until desired doneness is achieved. Turn once halfway through grilling time. Remove from grill, allow meat to rest five minutes, then slice thinly across the grain and serve warm.
