Bourbon Garlic Flank Steak
1⁄4 cup bourbon
1⁄4 cup canola oil (or other high-heat friendly oil)
2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
1⁄2 teaspoon salt
1⁄2 teaspoon pepper
4 garlic cloves, minced
1 flank steak
- In a small bowl, mix together the bourbon, canola oil, apple cider vinegar, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper.
- Whisk briskly to blend. Stir in the minced garlic.
- Place the flank steak in as small a container (plastic bags also do the trick) as it will fit into flat.
- Pour the bourbon mixture over it. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight, turning once. (You can broil it sooner, but the flavors won’t be as strong.)
- Remove the meat from the refrigerator at least 1⁄2 hour before broiling. Line a broiler pan with aluminum foil and set the top on it. Alternatively, you can use any oven-safe pan with a rack over it.
- Place the meat on the pan. Broil at 500 degrees for approximately 4 to 6 minutes on each side. The amount of time will depend on the thickness of your meat. Use a meat thermometer to determine when it is ready. Flank steaks are best when red inside.
- When the temperature reads 120, remove to a cutting board and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
- Slice thin, against the grain.
