I do a greek steak similar to this, but mine replaces lemon zest with lemon juice and includes some orange zest and fennel. This one is served with pita, but I do a lovely salad with red onion, cucumber, romaine lettuce, cherry tomatoes, feta, and tzatziki.

Japanese miso is savory (umami) and makes a good broiled or grilled flank. Go with sake or mirin instead of sherry if you are able, and I personally add a splash of rice vinegar. My housemates have food allergies so we use South River Chickpea Miso to make it soy free/gluten free. Serve with pickled daikon, cucumber, and carrot. Maybe a small side of steamed rice? I know you don't like spicy, but anyone reading whose interested might like it serve with wasabi mashed potatoes (or cauliflower, if that's your thing).

Um... Burgundy Peppercorn Marinade is a steakhouse classic. It's actually really sweet once it's cooked. I buy steaks in a local store's own house sauce like this and it's sweet and tender by the time I cook it since it's been marinading for a few days already. There are a lot of variations of it, not all of them healthy, but I bet you could easily tweak a recipe to reduce oil content and retain flavor. It's good with dilly grilled potato salad (German style) and sauerkraut/red cabbage or corn on the cob. Similar recipe below, can be made with dry red wine, burgundy or zinfandel:

I like marinating mine overnight in a marinade of tequila, lime, olive oil, lime zest, cilantro, salt, pepper, powdered garlic, powdered onion, cumin, ground chipotle pepper (though you can leave off that last one to avoid it being spicy).
These of course are best when grilled outside next to the pool or beach and served with margaritas and corn tortillas.
OMG that sounds awesome... Could you use this on chicken???.
Absolutely
Can you leave off the olive oil, lime zest, cilantro, salt, pepper, powdered garlic, powdered onion, cumin, ground chipotle pepper and meat?
Sure. That works really well when you just substitute tofu for the whole thing, then throw that out, and go to Wendy's for a triple.0 -

A bulgogi marinade is fantastic on flank steak
1/4 cup soy sauce
2-3 tablespoons mirin
3 cloves minced garlic
2 tablespoons oil (either sesame or peanut)
1 teaspoon grated ginger
cracked black pepper to taste
a couple stalks chopped green onions
Some people use sugar instead of mirin. If you use sugar, a tablespoon should suffice.0 -
Question-if I can't find flank steak, what is a comparable cut?
Really, most of these recipes can be subbed any cut of red meat. You could try for a skirt steak, sirloin, or even chuck. I think round is pretty tough, but just about anything else.0 -

Some are even good for pork or chicken as well.0 -

It's also called flap meat.
I'm really glad I've never seen it called there as it's a revolting name for meat LOL0 -

Please to check your PM's for directions to my house. The flank steak is on the counter. I'll be in my bed with covers up to my neck as the AC's blaring a little to high right now. I'm picking up a bottle of wine and some white rice to go with that. :drinker:0 -
My family loves this recipe:
