• 15 g 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce

• 2 tbsp brown sugar

• 1 tsp dried thyme

👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. 1Marinate the Steak
Place all the marinade ingredients into a glass bowl or zip-lock bag. Add the flank steak and massage well to coat. Cover and refrigerate for 3–6 hours, or up to 24 hours for deeper flavour. Turn and massage occasionally.
2. 2Prepare to Braai
Remove the steak from the fridge 30–60 minutes before cooking to come to room temperature. Meanwhile, heat your braai or grill until very hot.
3. 3Grill the Steak
- Braai the flank steak for 4–6 minutes per side, depending on thickness and desired doneness. You’re aiming for a nice char on the outside and juicy pink inside—medium-rare to medium is ideal for tenderness.
4. 4Rest for 5–10 minutes. Slice thinly across the grain to shorten the muscle fibres and ensure tenderness.
5. 5Serve with stir fry vegetables and rice
