Broiled Flank Steak

January 24, 2012

Ingredients

Preparation

To keep the meat in shape while cooking, lightly score the surface (cut crosshatches 1/8 inch deep) on each side with the point of your small, sharp knife. Give it the marinade treatment if you wish (see page 47), for 1/2 hour up to a day or two; or season with salt, pepper, and a little soy sauce, and brush with vegetable oil. Set close under the broiler for 2 to 3 minutes on each side, until just beginning to take on springiness to the touch—for rare. To serve, cut into thin, slanting slices across the grain.
