These delicious marinated skewers are easy to prepare. The marinade provides flavor and tenderness for lean cuts like the flank steak used in this entree. The honey and sugar help the meat brown nicely while the vinegar helps break down the meat’s muscle fibers. But it is important not to marinate the meat longer than five hours, as the vinegar, which makes it tender, can also break the fibers down too much, leaving the exterior mealy and mushy without softening the interior at all. Since you’re using the rest of the marinade as a sauce, you’ll need to bring it to a rolling boil and let it cook for at least 10 minutes to ensure any bacteria present is destroyed.
