6 Smart Tips for a Summer of Better Grilling — Tips from The Kitchn
Summer means grilling season — everything from fruit and veggies to meat and dessert. We’re deep in the heart of it and it’s just going to get better over the next couple months. So to make sure you get the absolute most out of it, we’ve got six smart tips to guide you through a summer of better grilling.
Grilled Marinated Flank Steak
Flank steak is a lean, somewhat tough but flavorful cut of beef that benefits from the tenderizing effects of a marinade. It is best cooked medium rare and thinly sliced at an angle across the grain of the meat.
Prepared this way, marinated, cooked quickly at high heat, thinly sliced, flank steak practically melts in your mouth. This recipe calls for grilling the steak, but if you don’t have a grill, you can prepare the steak on a large cast iron frying pan as well.

There are tons of vegetables that would love an opportunity to shine on a platter, to serve as a vehicle for a pesto, salsa, vinaigrette, vegetable puree, cheesy dip, or hummus.
