Flank steak is excellent grilling fare. In our house, there is only one way to grill flank steak (rare) and only one way to carve it (sliced thin on a sharp angle).

Step 15
We put a flank steak in a one-gallon Ziplock with a marinade made from equal amounts soy sauce, vegetable oil, and red wine. Then we freeze it flat so it can be thawed quickly; we usually have 2 or 3 in the freezer. The freeze-thaw cycle seems to marinate them nicely. When guests are coming, just thaw, grill, slice as above and serve!
The wine is not critical, usually whatever we have left over, a dry red is great.
These are always very popular with guests!
