Servings: 4 people
Calories: 67kcal
Ingredients
- 1 cup tart cherry juice
- 4 cloves minced garlic
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil or avocado oil
Instructions
- Combine all the ingredients in a ziplock bag or shallow dish. I prefer a bag because you won't have to flip it to marinade both sides, but you do you. Add 1½-2 pounds of flank or skirt steak to the marinade and coat on all sides. Marinate for 2-8 hours, or up to 24 hours.
- Before cooking, sprinkle steak with kosher salt and black pepper on both sides.
- To grill - Preheat grill to medium high heat (about 425F) and grill on the first side for 6-8 minutes until grill marks form, then flip and cook another 5-6 minutes. Remove the steak from the grill, loosely cover with foil, and allow it to sit for 10 minutes. This is best done on a cutting board with edges to catch any juices. See notes for air fryer suggestions.
Notes
- To air fry steak, follow the instructions in my air fryer flank steak recipe.
- Substitutes for tart cherry juice include pomegranate juice or coconut aminos.
- If you intend to grill or sear steaks above 425F degrees then use avocado oil.
- Salt and pepper is best added before grilling rather than directly to the marinade.
- This marinade will also work for chicken breasts or thighs.
- See the post for suggestions on spices that work well. 1 tablespoon of fresh (not dried), finely chopped rosemary is my go-to.
