The science of the perfect bourbon-marinated flank steak
In short: Learn how to balance bitter, sweet, and savory notes to transform a tough cut of meat into a tender centerpiece. This guide covers a versatile stovetop or grill method for a high-quality dinner or sandwich.
The recipe utilizes a specific balance of ingredients: 1/4 cup Dijon mustard for a bitter tang, 1/4 cup packed brown sugar for sweetness, 4 tsp Worcestershire sauce, and 2 tsp of salt and pepper. This mixture is applied to 1 pound of flank steak.
Technique is essential for texture. The meat must marinate at room temperature for at least 30 minutes (or up to 24 hours in the refrigerator). After searing for 5 to 6 minutes per side to reach a medium-rare internal temperature of 130ºF, the steak must rest for 10 to 15 minutes. The final step involves deglazing the pan with the remaining marinade to create a concentrated pan sauce.
