Outstanding

Open-grained flank steak absorbs lots of flavor from this spicy marinade. Serve with a salad of rice stick noodles, radishes, carrots, and snow peas.

  • 3  tablespoons  fresh lime juice
  • 1  tablespoon  fish sauce

  • 1/2  teaspoon  ground coriander
  • 2  garlic cloves, minced
  • 1  pound  flank steak, trimmed
  • Cooking spray
  • 1/4  teaspoon  salt

Preparation

1. Combine first 6 ingredients in a large zip-top plastic bag. Add steak; seal and marinate in refrigerator 24 hours, turning occasionally.

2. Prepare grill to medium-high heat.

3. Remove steak from marinade; discard marinade.

4. Place steak on grill rack coated with cooking spray; grill 4 minutes on each side or until desired degree of doneness. Remove steak from grill; sprinkle with salt. Let stand 5 minutes. Cut across grain into thin slices.
