Ingredients

• 1 pound Flank steak
• 1 cup Fresh cilantro, chopped
• 1 tablespoon Fresh ginger, grated
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 2 tablespoons Lime juice
• 3 tablespoons Soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 tablespoon Honey
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Salt

Directions

Step 1

In a medium-sized bowl, combine chopped cilantro, grated ginger, minced garlic, lime juice, soy sauce, olive oil, honey, ground black pepper, and salt to create the marinade.

Step 2

Place the flank steak in a large resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the steak, ensuring it is thoroughly coated.

Step 3

Seal the bag or cover the dish with plastic wrap. Marinate the steak in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight for maximum flavor.

Step 4

Remove the marinated flank steak from the refrigerator and let it sit at room temperature for 20-30 minutes before cooking.

Step 5

Preheat your grill or cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grill grates or skillet to prevent sticking.

Step 6

Remove the steak from the marinade, allowing any excess to drip off. Discard the remaining marinade.

Step 7

Cook the flank steak for 5-6 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or cook to your desired level of doneness. Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature (130°F for medium-rare, 140°F for medium, etc.).

Step 8

Once cooked, transfer the steak to a cutting board, cover loosely with aluminum foil, and let it rest for 5 minutes to retain its juices.

Step 9

Slice the steak thinly against the grain to ensure tenderness. Serve immediately with your choice of sides, such as roasted vegetables, rice, or a fresh salad.
