Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds flank steak
- 0.25 cups soy sauce
- 0.25 cups olive oil
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional for garnish)
Instructions
In a medium bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, olive oil, honey, minced garlic, black pepper, salt, and lemon juice to create the marinade.
Place the flank steak in a large resealable plastic bag or shallow baking dish. Pour the marinade over the steak, ensuring it is well coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to penetrate the meat.
When ready to cook, preheat the broiler to high. Position the oven rack so the steak will be about 3-4 inches from the heat source.
Remove the steak from the marinade and shake off any excess liquid. Discard the marinade.
Place the flank steak on a broiler-safe baking sheet or pan. Broil for approximately 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare, or adjust the time depending on desired doneness. Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature: 130°F for rare, 135°F for medium-rare, or 145°F for medium.
Once cooked to your liking, remove the steak from the broiler and let it rest for 5-10 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute through the meat.
Slice the steak thinly against the grain for maximum tenderness. Sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley if desired, and serve immediately.
