To make the meal feel special, I set the table with my stash of outdoor tableware.

What I love about this recipe for flank steak is that, not only is it delicious, but the prep work is done one day in advance so it can marinate.

This give you more time to enjoy your guests on the day you serve it.

Since it goes on the grill, it also means less pans to have to wash after dinner.

While we waited for the flank steak to cook, we celebrated the weekend.

A picnic style meal with a fancy touch.

Once the flank steak was done and sliced..

We ate before the sun began to set. To keep the white burlap table runner from blowing off the table, I secured it at each end of the table with white thumb tacks.

Whenever we make the flank steak recipe we always make more than we know we will need since the leftovers make delicious sandwiches for lunch the next day.

Once we ate dinner, we enjoyed more champagne and watched the sun set over the lake.

We sat outside as long as possible, but the evening was perfect and the flank steak, delicious!

Fast Fire Flank Steak

This recipe is a crowd pleaser that should be made at least a day in advance so it can marinate. Make enough to have leftovers… they are perfect for making sandwiches with.

If you don't have a container to marinate, use a large Ziplock bag to place the meat in to marinate. I find the longer it marinates, the better.

Be sure to flip the meat a few times a day to make sure every inch of it gets marinated.

I also think it tastes better when you really score the meat on both sides with a knife. This allows the marinade to get deep into the meat.

For those keeping sugar minimal, is there a preferred brown sugar substitute you’d recommend, or is this a recipe you don’t recommend to modify to consider the sugar in the marinade a modest treat?

  Hi – I have never made the recipe without the brown sugar, but I think it will be OK since there is not that much of it. You may want to add a little more Asian Sesame Oil. This is what I think really makes the meat taste so good. I like to marinate it for at least 24 hours so the meat really has time to take on the flavor. I am going to have the last of the leftovers that I made over the weekend in a salad for lunch today.

I love your hair, too. Thank you for sharing your picnic by the lake. The table decor is beautiful.
I can’t wait until we have nice weather here in the northwest. The high temp is still in the 50s here.

  Hi Katy – Thanks about my hair. I really am loving it. I hope your weather warms up so you can get out and enjoy life outdoors. The east coast is in a warm spell this week. We may hit 90 on tomorrow and Friday. It is not too bad since there is no humidity yet. Once July and August come and the heavy humidity kicks in, I will be envious of your northwest weather.

Hi Diane,
That recipe looks wonderful and I am wondering if you have a recipe for that broccoli salad?
So nice to remember all the Moms that are no longer with us. You have a special touch for
everything you do including that beautiful table. Happy Mothers day to you.

      Hi Sherry –
      
      My friend brought and made the broccoli salad that we had with the flank steak. Here is the link to the blog and recipe she used: https://bit.ly/3wbUtLR
      
      She didn’t add the onions or the sugar and it was still very good. Enjoy and thanks for reading my blog.

I love your posts Diane! But I have to say what really got me this time was your picture. Your hair is fabulous! I am a little obsessed with women who go au natural with their beautiful hair as I am on the verge of making the leap myself. You look beautiful and I am so blessed to see your photo. Thank you for another positive reinforcement that this decision is a good one and I can just do it!

Hello. That recipe looks delicious. I will print a copy for my husband, the BBQ chef!
By the way, we love the light granola recipe you published a few weeks ago! We sprinkle it on yogourt and on top of other cereals. It adds a nice cinnamon flavour.
Thanks.
