Method

  1. For the marinade, mix all the ingredients together in a bowl. Place the steaks in a shallow dish, pour marinade over to coat the meat completely. Cover, chill and leave to marinate overnight.
  2. Scrape the marinade off the steaks and rub each steak with a drop of sunflower oil. Heat a griddle pan until very hot, then rub the steaks with the reserved lemon half and cook with the rosemary sprig for 3-4 mins each side for medium-rare, 1 min longer if you prefer it cooked more. Rest for 5 mins before serving with mash or chips.

    This recipe is delicious and easy, and makes a perfect Saturday night dinner, served with chips and rocket salad! I used skirt steak, which is the next cut along from flank, very similar and worked perfectly. Having eaten this tasty cut of meat a few times in Brazilian restaurants is nice to find a recipe that incorporates it, as they seem few and far between. I will definitely be making this again.

    Excellent recipe with heaps of flavour! I used too much ginger and this overpowered the rest of the ingredients so next time I'll cut it back. The marinade took minutes to prepare the night before and all I had to do this evening was make some mash and quickly cook the steaks. Perfect for a mid-week meal!

    Wonderful marinade! Even after only an hour and a half in the fridge it was still delicious. A great way to treat an inexpensive cut of meat. Will definitely make this again.
