Flank Steak Ingredients

Method

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Marinade Preparation

    In a bowl, mix minced garlic, olive oil, soy sauce, lime juice, black pepper, and salt to create the marinade.

  2. 2

    Marinate the Flank Steak

    Place the flank steak in a large resealable bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the steak, ensuring it is well coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight.

  3. 3

    Preheat the Grill

    Preheat your grill to high heat. If using a charcoal grill, ensure the coals are hot and ashed over.

  4. 4

    Grill the Steak

    Remove the flank steak from the marinade and let it come to room temperature for about 30 minutes. Grill the steak for about 5-7 minutes on each side for medium rare, or until desired doneness.

  5. 5

    Rest the Steak

    Once cooked, remove the steak from the grill and let it rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing.

  6. 6

    Slice and Serve

    Slice the flank steak against the grain, garnish with chopped parsley, and serve with your choice of sides.
