Flank Steak Recipe

Flank Steak Directions

1. 1

   Marinate the Steak

   In a bowl, whisk together the olive oil, minced garlic, soy sauce, lime juice, brown sugar, black pepper, salt, and chili powder until well combined.

2. 2

   Prepare the Marinade

   Place the flank steak in a resealable plastic bag or shallow dish and pour the marinade over the steak. Ensure the steak is evenly coated.

3. 3

   Refrigerate

   Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or up to 8 hours for best flavor.

4. 4

   Preheat the Grill

   Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F or 200°C). If using a grill pan, heat it over medium-high on the stovetop.

5. 5

   Remove and Drain the Steak

   Take the flank steak out of the marinade and let any excess marinade drip off. Discard the marinade.

6. 6

   Grill the Steak

   Place the flank steak on the preheated grill. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or until the internal temperature reaches 130°F (54°C).

7. 7

   Rest the Steak

   Remove the steak from the grill and let it rest for 5-10 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute.

8. 8

   Slice and Serve

   Slice the steak against the grain and serve garnished with chopped fresh cilantro.
