If you’re looking to level up your grilling game without spending hours prepping marinades, Costco’s got you covered with this Flank Steak with Lime Cilantro Marinade. It’s ready to throw straight on the grill, which is exactly what we need as we head into prime grilling season.
This is flank steak that comes already marinated in a bright lime cilantro mixture, sold by the pound in the meat department. The marinade has that fresh, zesty profile that works perfectly with the beefy flavor of flank steak—think fajitas, carne asada tacos, or just sliced up over a salad.
The quality is solid, as you’d expect from Costco’s meat department. The convenience factor here is huge – you’re saving time on prep while still getting restaurant-quality flavor. Just be aware that flank steak is a leaner cut, so you’ll want to avoid overcooking it or it can get tough. Medium-rare to medium is your sweet spot.
