Hoisin-Black Bean Flank Steak
Remember, the amounts given here are guidelines. Taste the marinade as you make it and adjust the ingredients until you get a balance of flavours that pleases you.
Because it is so lean, flank steak is our number-one red meat choice. It should be marinated for several hours to help tenderize it, and it’s important not to overcook it or it will be tough. I love this marinade because it combines sour (lime juice), sweet (hoisin sauce), salty (black bean sauce), and hot (red pepper flakes). Remember, the amounts given here are guidelines. Taste the marinade as you make it and adjust the ingredients until you get a balance of flavours that pleases you.
