Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound flank steak
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 3 cloves garlic
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon cumin powder
- 0.5 teaspoon paprika
Instructions
Begin by preparing the marinade. In a medium-sized bowl, combine 3 tablespoons of olive oil, 2 tablespoons of soy sauce, 1 tablespoon of honey, 3 minced garlic cloves, 2 tablespoons of lime juice, 0.5 teaspoon of ground black pepper, 0.5 teaspoon of salt, 0.5 teaspoon of cumin powder, and 0.5 teaspoon of paprika.
Place the 1 pound of flank steak in a large resealable plastic bag. Pour the marinade over the steak, seal the bag, and gently massage the marinade into the steak ensuring it is evenly coated.
Refrigerate the steak for at least 1 hour, or overnight for best results, to let the flavors infuse.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, around 400°F (200°C). Once the grill is hot, remove the steak from the marinade and let any excess marinade drip off.
Place the flank steak on the grill and cook for 5-7 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or adjust the cooking time to your desired level of doneness.
Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature of the steak. For medium-rare, it should register at 130°F (54°C).
Once cooked, remove the steak from the grill and let it rest for about 5-10 minutes on a cutting board. This will allow the juices to redistribute within the meat, ensuring it remains juicy and tender.
After resting, slice the steak thinly against the grain for maximum tenderness.
Serve the grilled flank steak with your choice of sides like grilled vegetables, a fresh salad, or a warm baguette.
