How do I broil marinated flank steak strips?

Question

The recipe doesn't say. Do they mean in a pan or in the oven or what? For how long? Please help me so I can time my dinner!

Answer 1

Take the strips out of your marinade, and place them on the rack of your broiler pan. The oven dial should be set at Broil, while the other dial should be set at 550*.
There should be a light by the dials - that turns off when the heat is high enough inside the oven. Then put the broiler pan on the top oven rack. If these are thin strips, they're not going to take but a few minutes to cook - you'll have to keep an eye on them.
(By the way, you'll have easier cleanup if you coat the broiler pan rack with nonstick cooking spray -"Pam"- before putting the meat on it.)

Answer 2

The best way is to broil the flank steak and then cut it, across the grain, into thin strips. If it's already cut, it will cook too quickly. Best to stir-fry it in a pan. Or, a grill pan should work, just watch so it doesn't get to well-done.

The cooking time for a flank steak varies by width, but 12 minutes is a good starting point. Try not to turn it over too often.

Answer 3

First of all, you broil the entire steak then cut it into strips.

I'd just broil it in a broiler pan if you must do it indoors. Grilling is much better.

Timing is very tricky, because of differences in heat intensity of individual ovens and distance from the meat to the element.

I think I'd try 3 minutes on one side and 2 on the other... and pray!

Answer 4

Broiling ALWAYS means that it takes place in your oven on the "broil" option (versus Bake) Make sure your tiop rack is pretty close to the top if not right at top next to the elements. Keep an eye on it b/c things happen pretty fast with broiling.
