Ingredients
- 1 (2 1/2 pound) tri-tip London Broil or flank steak
- 1/4 cup red wine vinegar
- 1/4 cup dry red wine
- 2 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoon Creole mustard, or other spicy whole-grain mustard
- 1 tablespoon Essence, recipe follows
- 1 teaspoon coarsely ground black pepper
- 4 cloves garlic, smashed
- Emeril's Homemade Steak Sauce, recipe follows
Directions
Place the flank steak in a large, plastic resealable bag.
In a large, glass measuring cup, combine red wine vinegar, red wine, olive oil, Worcestershire, soy sauce, mustard, essence, salt, pepper, and garlic. Pour the marinade into the bag with the steak, seal and place inside a large, glass baking dish to prevent possible spills. Marinate in the refrigerator for 24 hours (or at least 6 hours).
Preheat a gas or charcoal grill to high heat. (Alternately, preheat the broiler). Remove the steak from the marinade and pat dry with paper towels. Place the steak on the grill (or under the broiler) and cook to desired doneness, about 6 minutes per side for rare. Transfer the steak to a cutting board and let stand for 5 minutes before carving.
Slice across the grain into thin diagonal slices. Serve steak with sauce.
Essence (Emeril's Creole Seasoning):
- 2 1/2 tablespoons paprika
- 2 tablespoons salt
- 2 tablespoons garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon onion powder
- 1 tablespoon cayenne pepper
- 1 tablespoon dried leaf oregano
- 1 tablespoon dried thyme
Combine all ingredients thoroughly and store in an airtight jar or container.
Yield: about 2/3 cup

Although I haven't made the steak sauce, I have made the marinade for almost 2 years, and it is by far the best go to recipe for flank steak. My husband and twin boys, aged 10, LOVE it when they know Mom is grilling flank steak for dinner! It goes well with what we call "camp potatoes"....sliced golden potatoes, butter, onion, salt and pepper, wrapped in foil and grilled for about 30 minutes. LOVE this recipe! Thanks Emeril!

I'm perplexed by the few bad ratings. Taste is everything. If the marinade tastes too vinegary, add more wine, olive oil or other liquid. Even beef stock. Sorry that good recipes are trashed by inexperienced cooks. Personally I use more wine than vinegar although my husband loves this recipe as is. Remember, recipes are guides, not rules.

The marinade is wonderful! I actually use this to marinate pork chops more that I do london broil, and I have been asked for the recipe numerous times. As far as the previous review about the vinegar amount...have you ever made a marinade? Do you know how to measure? This is perfect!
