Equipment

  • Grill or Cast Iron Skillet
  • Meat Thermometer
  • Sharp Knife

Ingredients
  

Flank Steak

  • 1 lb flank steak

Marinade

  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 tbsp lemon juice freshly squeezed
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 tsp black pepper freshly ground
  • 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce

Instructions
 

  • In a bowl, combine soy sauce, olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, black pepper, and Worcestershire sauce to create the marinade.
  • Place the flank steak in a resealable bag or shallow dish and pour the marinade over it. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight for best results.
  • Preheat a grill or cast iron skillet to high heat.
  • Remove the steak from the marinade and pat dry. Grill for 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare, or until the internal temperature reaches 130-135°F (54-57°C).
  • Let the steak rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing.
  • Slice thinly against the grain and serve immediately.

Notes

For extra tenderness, marinate overnight. Serve with grilled vegetables, rice, or a fresh salad.
