Question for Cathy about flank steak

Hi Cathy. How are you today? I have a question for ya. I have cooked flank steak two times now and both times the steak was so tough to eat. The first time I used a meat tenderizer and I think some balsamic vinegar marinade. The second time I just used vinegar marinade, and let it sit for about 20 minutes. What are your thoughts? Could it just be where I purchased it from? (Super Wal-Mart)Thanks for your time.

Hi Gina,


Flank steak is usually very tender.

If you want an extra-good flank steak, it's great to marinate it all day. You can put it in a pan with your marinade and let it sit in the fridge for a full day, and it will be SO flavorfull and tender that night! I just wanted to add that tip for you...
