Grilled Flank Steak with Grilled Peppers-2

The weather in Denver this time of year can be a bit wishy washy – 30’s one day and 50’s the next. Most of the time though, the sun is shining which can make all the difference! All you die hard grillers are outside grilling no matter what time of year it is. We can smell our neighbors grilling year round in our neighborhood. If you are craving a delicious, grilled piece of meat, look no further than flank steak. Because of its thin cut and best cooked medium rare, you can be enjoying a delicious grilled steak in no time. And for those of you who don’t like to grill when its cold outside, or don’t have a grill, flank steak will taste just as delicious cooked in a cast iron pan indoors on your stovetop.

Flank steak is a flavorful, but fairly tough cut of meat, so marinating it will help to tenderize the meat a bit and bring out the flavors. This 5 ingredient marinade is simple, but flavorful, and the paprika and garlic blend well with the roasted potatoes and pepper. 

If you are eating Keto, simply replace the potatoes with another roasted vegetable such as roasted broccoli, cauliflower or Brussels sprouts.

Whether you are firing up the grill or heating up your cast iron, this Marinated Flank Steak with Grilled Onions and Peppers comes together for a delicious weeknight meal!
