Maple Chipotle Flank Steak

Prep Time:  10 Minutes

     Cook Time:  20 Minutes

     Serves:  6

Beef skirt or flank steak is inherently tougher than other cuts of beef. One way to make these cuts more tender is to marinade them prior to cooking.

Ingredients

  • 2 pounds beef skirt or flank steak, thawed and cut into 6 pieces
  • ⅔ cup maple syrup
  • ¼ cup tamari
  • ½ cup water
  • 3 or more garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 ½ tsp. black pepper
  • ½ tsp. chipotle powder

Directions

  1. In a small mixing bowl, whisk together maple syrup, tamari, water, garlic, pepper, and chipotle powder. Place marinade into a resealable bag or a marinating pan. Add raw meat to the marinade and refrigerate for 1 to 8 hours. Turn at least once during marinating.
  2. Preheat grill or light charcoal at least 15-30 minutes prior to grilling steaks.
  3. Before putting the steaks on the grill, clean the grill with a wire brush and season with olive oil (this helps reduce sticking). Place steaks on preheated and seasoned grill and cover. Grill steak for 15-20 minutes until done to your liking.
  4. While meat is cooking, drain used marinade into a small saucepan and bring to a boil. Stirring frequently, simmer marinade for 10 to 15 minutes until it is reduced by half to 2/3 the volume.
  5. Slice grilled steak in thin slices and serve with maple chipotle marinade sauce.
