Although flank steak is tender enough to grill and eat right away, it's even better when you marinate it. A resealable plastic bag makes a useful transportable marinating container. Slicing across the grain and serving no more than medium-rare ensures maximum tenderness.

Remove steak from marinade, discarding marinade. Place on greased grill over medium-high heat; close lid and grill, turning once, until medium-rare, about 8 minutes. Let stand for 10 minutes before thinly slicing across the grain. Cut slices in half crosswise.
