Gin Marinated Beef Flank

#WorldGinDay

Gin is lovely to drink - it also makes a great marinade for beef flank!

The recipe is super easy - just shake up the ingredients in a jar, marinade the meat, ideally, overnight and griddle or BBQ the meat.

This is lovely served with a light salad and cous-cous or similar.

Ingredients (Serves 4)

• Flank steak to serve 4

• 1⁄4 cup spring onion (chopped)

• 1⁄4 cup gin

• 1 tbsp olive oil

• 1 lemon - peel grated

• 1 tsp pepper

• 3 tbsp pimento-stuffed green olives (sliced)

• 1 lemon peel grated

• 1⁄2 onion (sliced thin)

Method:

1. Place all ingredients in a glass jar and shake well.

2. Place flank steak in a non-corrosive container.

3. Pour marinade over the flank and cover. Leave to tenderize at room temperature for 2 hours or refrigerated up to 24 hours.

4. Heat grill to high (or prepare your BBQ), remove meat from marinade. Cook for 2 ½ minutes per side for medium-rare.

5. Serve & enjoy!
