Flank Steak With Horseradish Sauce

This juicy cut of meat can be grilled to perfection in minutes.

An overnight marinade performs double duty, gently flavoring and tenderizing this lean cut of beef.

Preparation time: 10 minutes
Cooking time: 15 minutes

You Will Need
1 beef flank steak (1 pound)
3 tablespoons lemon juice
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/8 teaspoon hot pepper sauce

Horseradish sauce:
1/4 cup fat-free mayonnaise
1/4 cup reduced-fat sour cream
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
2 green onions, finely chopped
2 teaspoons prepared horseradish



What to Do
1. Using a sharp knife, score the surface of the steak with shallow diagonal cuts at 1-in. intervals, making diamond shapes. Repeat on other side.

2. In a large resealable plastic bag, combine the next five ingredients. Add steak. Seal bag and turn to coat; refrigerate for 8 hours or overnight.

3. Combine the sauce ingredients in a small bowl; cover and refrigerate.

4. Drain and discard marinade. Grill steak, covered, over medium-high heat for 7-9 minutes on each side or until meat reaches desired doneness (for medium-rare, a meat thermometer should read 145°F; medium, 160°F; well done, 170°F). Thinly slice steak across the grain; serve with sauce.
