Ingredients Needed:

- Pinch chile flakes
- 1 ounce fresh oregano
- 1/2 cup olive oil
- 24 ounces veal flank steak
How To Make Adobo Grilled Veal Flank Steak?
- Prepare the marinade: Combine the orange juice, lime juice, chopped garlic, chile flakes, oregano, and olive oil in a large mixing bowl.
- Marinate the steak: Place the veal flank steak in the bowl, ensuring it is fully covered by the marinade. Let it marinate for at least 2 hours in the refrigerator to absorb the flavors.
- Preheat the grill: Heat the grill to medium heat. Remove the veal from the marinade and let any excess drip off.
- Grill the veal: Place the veal steak on the grill and cook for 6-7 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches your desired doneness.
- Rest and serve: Let the grilled veal rest for 5 minutes before slicing it against the grain. Enjoy with your favorite sides!
Recipe Tips:
- Marinate the Meat Well: Let the veal marinate for at least 2 hours, but for the best flavor, try leaving it overnight in the fridge. The longer marination time allows the citrus and garlic to deeply infuse the meat.
- Use Fresh Ingredients: Freshly squeezed orange and lime juice will give the dish a much brighter and zesty taste. Avoid bottled juices if possible, as they may not deliver the same vibrant flavors.
- Preheat the Grill Properly: Make sure the grill is fully preheated to medium heat before placing the steak on it. This ensures the meat sears correctly and develops a nice crust without sticking to the grill.
- Rest the Meat Before Slicing: After grilling, let the veal rest for at least 5 minutes. This step keeps the juices inside, making the meat more tender and flavorful when sliced.
- Slice Against the Grain: When serving, always slice the veal against the grain. This simple step makes the meat more tender and easier to chew, enhancing the overall eating experience.
How To Store & Reheat Leftovers?
- Refrigerate: First, let the leftover Adobo Grilled Veal Flank Steak cool until it reaches room temperature. Then, place it in an airtight container and refrigerate it for up to 3 days to keep it fresh and flavorful.
- Freeze: Let the grilled veal cool completely before wrapping it tightly in cling film or foil. Place it in a freezer-safe bag and freeze for up to 2 months.
- Reheat: Preheat your oven to 150°C / 300°F. Place the veal on a baking tray and cover it loosely with foil to retain moisture. Heat for 10-15 minutes until warmed through.
