Ingredients

• 1.5 lbs flank steak
• 1 cup Coca-Cola
• 1/4 cup soy sauce
• 2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
• 2 tbsp brown sugar
• 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tsp black pepper
• 2 tbsp unsalted butter

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Marinade

1. In a bowl, combine Coca-Cola, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, brown sugar, Dijon mustard, garlic, and black pepper.
2. Place the flank steak in a resealable bag or container and pour the marinade over it.
3. Seal and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight for the best flavor.

Step 2: Fire Up the Arteflame Grill

1. Pour some vegetable oil onto three paper napkins and place them in the center of the grill.
2. Stack firewood over the soaked napkins and light them.
3. Let the grill heat for about 20 minutes until the center grill grate reaches 1,000°F and the cooktop is evenly heated.

Step 3: Sear the Flank Steak

1. Remove the steak from the marinade, letting excess drip off.
2. Place the steak on the center grill grate for 45-60 seconds on each side to create a perfect sear.

Step 4: Finish Cooking on the Cooktop

1. Move the steak to the flat cooktop and add butter.
2. Grill until the internal temperature reaches 130°F for medium-rare (remove at 115°F).

Step 5: Rest and Serve

1. Remove the steak and let it rest for 10 minutes, allowing the juices to redistribute.
2. Slice against the grain and serve warm.

Tips

• Always remove the meat 15°F before your target temperature to avoid overcooking.
• Use high-quality butter for the best flavor when finishing on the cooktop.
• Grill vegetables or potatoes on the Arteflame griddle while the steak cooks for a complete meal.

Variations

1. Spicy Kick: Add 1 tsp crushed red pepper flakes to the marinade for a spicy twist.
2. Honey Bourbon: Replace brown sugar with honey and add 2 tbsp bourbon for a smoky-sweet flavor.
3. Teriyaki Infusion: Substitute soy sauce with teriyaki sauce and add 1 tsp grated ginger.
4. Garlic Herb: Add 1 tbsp chopped rosemary and thyme to the marinade.
5. Coffee Rubbed: Mix 1 tbsp ground coffee into the marinade for a bold, deep flavor.
