Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound flank steak
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 4 garlic cloves (minced)
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (chopped)
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
Instructions
Remove the flank steak from the refrigerator and let it sit at room temperature for 20 minutes before cooking.
Pat the steak dry using paper towels, then drizzle both sides with 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Season evenly with kosher salt and black pepper.
Heat a large skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil and swirl to coat the pan.
Once the pan is hot, carefully place the steak in the pan. Sear for 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or longer depending on your desired doneness.
Transfer the cooked steak to a cutting board and tent it with foil. Let it rest for 10 minutes.
In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and add the butter. Once melted, add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
Pour the chicken broth into the skillet and stir, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Allow the mixture to simmer and reduce by half, approximately 5 minutes.
Stir in the lemon juice and chopped parsley. Adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.
Thinly slice the rested steak against the grain, then arrange on a platter.
Pour the garlic sauce over the sliced steak. Garnish with extra parsley for presentation if desired. Serve immediately.
