Grilled Flank Steak: Easy BBQ Beef Recipe

Serves: 8 | Marinating time: 4 hours or overnight | Cooking time: about 12–16 minutes

This grilled flank steak is marinated in barbecue sauce and lemon before being cooked over medium heat. Slicing the steak thinly across the grain helps create tender, easy-to-eat slices.

Ingredients

2 lb beef flank steak
½ cup beef broth*
1 cup barbecue sauce
¼ cup lemon juice

* Check the original recipe: the instructions mention wine instead of beef broth. Confirm which ingredient Adam wants before publishing.

How to Make Grilled Flank Steak

1. Marinate the Steak

Whisk the barbecue sauce, [broth/wine — confirm], and lemon juice in a bowl until combined.

Pour 1 cup of the marinade into a shallow dish. Add the flank steak and turn to coat evenly.

Cover and refrigerate for 4 hours or overnight.

Cover and refrigerate the remaining marinade separately.

2. Grill the Steak

Remove the steak from the marinade and discard the used marinade.

Grill over medium heat until the steak reaches your preferred doneness. The original recipe recommends:

Medium-rare: 135°F
Medium: 140°F
Medium-well: 145°F

This should take approximately 6–8 minutes per side, depending on thickness and grill temperature.

3. Rest and Slice

Transfer the steak to a cutting board and allow it to rest for 5 minutes.

Slice thinly across the grain using a sharp knife and serve with the reserved marinade.

Final Thoughts

This grilled flank steak is a simple BBQ recipe with a sweet, tangy marinade and tender slices of beef. Serve it with your favourite grilled vegetables, salad or side dishes.
