Grilled Caribbean Flank Steak

Caribbean flank steak

The smokey flavors from the grill blend naturally with the tropical flavors of the Caribbean.

Marinated in fruit juice, the ginger and citrus flavors give this flank steak an abundance of flavor.

This steak goes quite well with the Tropical Fruit and Rice dish.

So sit back with an umbrella style drink and get ready to enjoy the flavors of the islands!

Tropical Fruit with Rice

Caribbean Fruit with Rice

The tropical fruit flavors blend well with rice. The perfect side dish for the Grilled Caribbean Flank Steak.

If in season, try fresh fruit or experiment with a little soy or teriyaki sauce. Now and then I'll even kick up the heat with the addition of cayenne pepper or Louisiana-style hot sauce.

A versatile side dish that compliments many main dishes.
