Flank Steak

Most of the time it takes for this is the marinade. For the flank steak, set inside a large ziplock bag. This is where it will marinade. In a medium bowl, add:

1 cup Terriyaki sauce
3 tablespoons Worchestershire sauce
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 tablespoon italian seasoning
1 pinch of crushed red pepper flakes
3 cloves garlic, rough chopped

*To make it more Asian style, you can also add sesame seeds to the marinade. They stick to the steak and toast up nicely during the broiling process.

Wisk all ingredients until fairly blended and pour into ziplock bag. Massage into the flank steak a bit and set into refrigerator for at least 3 hours, more will result in more flavor.

Take flank steak out of refrigerator 1 hour before ready to cook, to make sure it's room temperature. Remove from ziplock bag and pat dry with paper towels. Set on a broiling pan and place in broiler or preheated oven set to broil, with rack position a few inches from the broiler. Broil 5 minutes on each side for medium rare. Let sit for 5 to 10 minutes until juices redistribute. Cut against the grain into thin strips.

If you want to use marinade as dipping sauce or to pour over meat, pour contents from the ziplock bag into sauce pan and cook on stovetop at medium high temp. until bubbly and slightly thickened.
