July 3, 1988He didn't have much use for my madras sport coat. But, he started me on the road to a flank steak marinade that always reminds me of his grilling aesthetic. Mostly soy sauce. A cup or two. A glug of bourbon or two. Pour over a scored flank steak for at least six hours. Overnight is even better. In the years that have gone by, I've added a tablespoon of toasted sesame oil and a teaspoon of powdered wasabi. But the soy and bourbon are the guts. Madras will come and go but his grill is eternal.
Add just a bit of lime juice, too. Little acid will bring it all together.
ReplyDeleteGreat photo. My father-in-law makes a flank steak that we drool for. But I'll have to ask if he adds bourbon. Hmm, sounds nice. Yours, too.

Look at your Dad in the previous post and your facial in this one. The way you both hold your head and the Tintin smurk....ME
ReplyDeletesince you're already using soy go ahead and use ricewine vinegar. keep it "oriental."
ReplyDeletei love the madras sportcoat but never look right in one.
Thanks Tin. Sounds like a good one. I grilled a London Broil for my old man for Father's Day. I'll definitely try this the next time we grill.
ReplyDeleteGSV: would you still add the bourbon with the ricewine vinegar? If so how much vinegar? One part to two or three parts soy sauce?
