Marinated Steak - Flank - With Cucumber Aioli
Flank steak is a flavorful and inexpensive cut of meat. Unfortunately, flank steak can be tough if not prepared properly. In this Instructable, we will use a spicy marinade made from cucumber, oil, and egg called cucumber aioli to help tenderize the meat and then grill the marinated steak to perfection.
Ingredients:
- 1 1/2 to 2 pound flank steak
- 1 jalapeno pepper chopped and seeded
- 2 cloves of garlic
- 1 egg yolk
- 1/2 cup parsley
- 1 cucumber
- 2 tsp salt
- 1 tbsp fresh ground black pepper
- 1 cup extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce (optional)

Prep Aioli
Slice the cucumber and then roughly chop the parsley. Yoke 1 egg and measure out 1 cup of olive oil. Peel the garlic.
Mix and Emulsify
Place the garlic, cucumber, salt, pepper, parsley, egg, Worcestershire sauce (if desired), and jalapeno in a blender. Blend until liquefied. Slowly add olive oil (about 1/4 cup at a time should be okay) until the mixture emulsifies.
Prepare Steak and Marinade
Make 1/4 inch deep cuts about 1 inch apart on both sides of the flank steak. Place flank steak in a large plastic zipper bag and pour in marinade. Marinate for 8-24 hours.
Grill
Coat a disposable grill liner with cooking spray and heat grill to high heat. Remove flank steak from marinade and place on grill for 8-10 minutes, flipping the steak every minute. This should result in a rare to medium rare steak.
Serve and Enjoy Marinated Steak!
After letting the steak rest under foil for 5-10 minutes, slice against the grain and serve. We served ours with pomme frites and brussels sprouts with honey almond glaze. Enjoy!
