Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds flank steak
- 0.25 cup olive oil
- 0.25 cup soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
- 3 cloves (minced) garlic
- 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
Instructions
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together olive oil, soy sauce, honey, red wine vinegar, minced garlic, ground black pepper, ground cumin, smoked paprika, and salt to create the marinade.
Place the flank steak in a large resealable plastic bag or shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the steak, ensuring the meat is fully coated.
Seal the bag or cover the dish with plastic wrap. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or up to overnight for maximum flavor.
When ready to cook, preheat your grill or broiler to high heat.
Remove the flank steak from the marinade, letting the excess drip off, and discard the remaining marinade.
Grill or broil the steak for 4-6 minutes per side, depending on thickness, until it reaches an internal temperature of 130°F (54°C) for medium-rare or your desired doneness.
Remove the steak from the heat and let it rest for 5-10 minutes on a cutting board, tented with foil, to allow the juices to redistribute.
Slice the flank steak thinly against the grain and serve immediately. Enjoy!
