Marinated Flank Steak
Marinated flank steak is our go-to cut of meat when we need to feed a hungry crowd in record time. It’s a thin cut so it cooks up quick—just eight to ten minutes for medium.
You will have to plan ahead to marinate the steak for about four to six hours. You’ll get plenty of wow-factor flavors. Flank steak is also especially good shredded and used in fajitas!
