Can I substitute pineapple juice for something else in the marinade?

Absolutely! Pineapple juice adds a wonderful sweetness and tenderizes the meat. Just be mindful of the sugar content if you're watching your intake.

How long should I marinate the flank steak?

For the best results, marinate the steak for at least 4 hours, but overnight is even better. This allows the flavors to fully penetrate the meat.

What's the best way to cook the flank steak?

Flank steak is best served medium-rare to medium. Use a meat thermometer to ensure it reaches an internal temperature of 130-140°F (54-60°C).

Why is it important to let the steak rest after grilling?

Letting the steak rest for 10-15 minutes before slicing allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in a more tender and flavorful steak. Trust me, it's worth the wait!

How do you cut a flank steak?

To properly cut a flank steak, find the direction of the meat's grain, then cut across it, not with it. Doing so helps tenderize the meat.
