Flank steak soaks up marinades at about the same rate I devour a plate full of red curry chicken at the Thai restaurant. Flank steak’s love for marinades allows me to throw together a quick marinade, give it a good soak and have a great meal in less than an hour and a half…a weekday Griller’s dream! I like to throw together a quick Thai noodle bowl to serve with this steak, I’ll throw in that easy recipe after we talk beef. Let’s get to it.
