Flank steak is a very inexpensive cut of meat. I have found it for less than $1 a pound at times and if marinated, it can turn out to be very flavorful and pretty tender. It's no Filet Mignon, but it's still tastes quite good.
This recipe comes from, "Once a Month Cooking" by Wilson and Lagerborg
Recipe and Freezing Instructions:
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1/4 cup soy sauce
1/4 cup red wine vinegar
2 tsp gluten free Worcestershire sauce (wow, I actually spelled that right!)
1 tsp ground ginger
2 tsp fresh minced garlic
3 pounds flank steak
Put steak in a labeled freezer bag (I put it in 2 bags so we wouldn't have so many leftovers in a row), put the rest of the ingredients in, close bag, and shake well. Freeze.
Cooking Day Instructions:
Thaw. BBQ for 3-5 minutes per side. Cut steak ACROSS the grain. to make more tender. Serve with baked potatoes and grilled corn if desired.
Price: $7 for 6 days of meals for our family of 5
The Verdict on a scale of 1-10: I give it a 5, because the flavor was good, but the cut of meat wasn't very tender, even when marinated. I cooked it stove top in my grill pan and not on the outside grill because it was raining outside. Next time I would try it with a thicker cut of meat. My kids liked it the first day, but after that, not so much.
