This marinade for flank steak and veggie packets recipe is a crowd pleaser, can be made gluten/grain free and/or soy free, and is easy. Even grill time is minimized. The veggies take a while, but the steak cooks quickly. This is important, because Glenn has ruined many a great steak by…talking…while cooking a long grill project. This recipe requires just 8 focused minutes at the fire (great for the recovering ADHD husband) and voila’! My Hero! An option is to simply grill the veggies, but the little packets are fun, and you can have a separate grill area and let the kids turn these over and mess around with them.
For a gluten/grain free option replace the tamari/soy sauce with coconut aminos and replace the Dijon mustard with dry mustard.
For a soy free option replace the tamari/soy sauce with coconut aminos.
