Papaya Flank Steak

By Derrick Riches, About.com Guide

Papaya is the greatest natural tenderizer. Sandwiching the flank steak between papaya slices will make this the most tender flank steak you have ever eaten.

Prep Time: 15 minutes

Cook Time: 10 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 1 1 to 2 pound flank steak
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon salt (kosher)
  • 1 papaya, peeled and seeded

Preparation:

Slice papaya into thin slices. Combine sugar, soy sauce, black pepper and salt into a paste and rub over the surface of the flank steak. Place half the papaya slices on a plate. Place steak on papaya and cover top with remaining slices. Place another plate on top and press together. Refrigerate overnight. Remove steak and grill to desired doneness. Great served with Diablo Sauce.

Pineapple can be substituted for the papaya.
