Ingredients

  • Marinated Flank Steak:
  • A delightful blend of 1/2 cup of low-sodium soy sauce and dry sherry
  • Finely chopped onion and a drizzle of olive oil
  • Sweetened with brown sugar and infused with fresh rosemary and minced garlic
  • Seasoned with a dash of ground black pepper
  • Perfectly paired with a 1 1/2-pound flank steak
  • Creamy Horseradish Sauce:
  • Whisk together 1/2 cup of sour cream with finely chopped green onions
  • Enhanced with a kick of prepared horseradish
  • Seasoned with a pinch of salt and ground black pepper to elevate the flavors

Step 1

Mix together a flavorful blend of soy sauce, sherry, diced onion, rich olive oil, brown sugar, fragrant rosemary, minced garlic, and a sprinkle of pepper in a bowl until well combined. Tenderize the flank steak by piercing it all over with a fork, ensuring to flip it and repeat the process. Place the steak in a sealable plastic bag and pour the marinade over it, making sure it is fully coated. Allow the steak to marinate in the refrigerator for at least 8 hours or overnight to absorb all the delicious flavors.

Step 2

Prepare a zesty sauce by combining sour cream, chopped green onions, zesty horseradish, a pinch of salt, and more pepper in a bowl. Cover the bowl and refrigerate the sauce until you are ready to serve, for up to 24 hours.

Step 3

Get your outdoor grill ready by preheating it to high heat and lightly oiling the grate for easy cooking.

Step 4

Remove the steak from the marinade and transfer the remaining marinade into a small saucepan. Bring the marinade to a boil over high heat and let it bubble away for a minute. Take it off the heat and season the steak with additional pepper.

Step 5

Grill the steak on the prepared grill until it reaches your desired level of doneness, remembering to baste it occasionally with the marinade. This should take around 5 minutes per side for a medium-cooked steak. Check the internal temperature with an instant-read thermometer, aiming for 140 degrees F (60 degrees C) at the center.

Step 6

Once cooked, transfer the steak to a plate and allow it to rest for 15 minutes before slicing against the grain into thin, angled pieces. Serve the steak hot or at room temperature alongside the tangy horseradish sauce for a delightful culinary experience.

Extra Tips & Suggestions

  1. 1. To maintain the succulent texture of the flank steak, wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and place it in an airtight container before storing it in the refrigerator.
  3. 2. For maximum flavor retention, marinate the flank steak in the zesty horseradish sauce for at least an hour before cooking. This will allow the flavors to penetrate the meat thoroughly.
