hi, i bought a flank steak on sale, but actually don't have any ideas what to do with it... i thought about making a german style roulade, but then looking for recipes i found cooking times anywhere from 10 min to 2 hours, i don't want to ruin the meat, have you cooked with flank steak before? what's the tenderness, cooking time and maybe a recipe for something stuffed flanksteak. thx in advance :)

Flank steak can be tricky. Marinades always help. Long braising German style will work fine, you won't ruin it. I like to marinate it in citrus and red wine coat it with mexican fahita seasoning and fry it in a cast iron pan, and serve fajitas with it.

I generally use it for fajitas. Marinate in garlic, salt, pepper, cumin, chili powder, lime juice and olive oil for about 3 hours. Then I broil it for about 4 minutes per side. Not long. Then slice across the grain for tenderness.

my fav is 1 table spoon olive oil 1/2 tsp salt 1/2 tsp pepper. rub all over both sides of meat wrap well with plastic wrap. leave it in the fridge for at least an hour or over night. set the meat out for about 10 mins before cooking so it can get closer to room temp. I use a broil pan and broil it in the oven. broil for 7 mins each side for med. 10 for well done 5 for too rare for me to think about. let it rest for at least 5 mins before cutting into it.
