Tips from the Pillsbury Kitchens

  • tip 1
    To broil steak, place on broiler pan; broil 4 to 6 inches from heat using times above as a guide, turning steak once.
  • tip 2
    This steak is prepared in the style of London broil, which is grilled whole flank steak served thinly sliced across the grain. Our recipe gives the marinade a Mediterranean twist.
  • tip 3
    Cut from the lower hindquarters, flank steak is a flavorful piece of beef that’s often marinated and grilled.
  • tip 4
    Make sure the grill is hot before adding the steak. A hot grill quickly seals the outside of the meat while the inside stays juicy and tender. Use a simple hand test to judge the heat of the grill When you cannot hold your hand 5 inches over the grill for more than 2 seconds, it’s hot and ready for steaks.
  • tip 5
    Use an electric knife to easily cut the grilled steak into thin slices.
