Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound flank steak
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic cloves
- 1 cup fresh parsley
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
- 0.5 teaspoons red pepper flakes
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
Instructions
In a small bowl, prepare the marinade by combining 2 tablespoons of olive oil, 2 minced garlic cloves, 1/2 teaspoon of sea salt, and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper.
Rub the marinade evenly onto the flank steak. Cover with plastic wrap and let it marinate at room temperature for 20-30 minutes, or refrigerate for up to 2 hours.
In the meantime, prepare the garlic parsley sauce. In a food processor, combine 2 garlic cloves, fresh parsley, lemon juice, red wine vinegar, 1 tablespoon of olive oil, red pepper flakes, 1/2 teaspoon of sea salt, and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper. Pulse until smooth. Set aside.
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F). Lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.
Remove the steak from the marinade and pat it dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture. This ensures good searing on the grill.
Place the flank steak on the preheated grill. Cook for about 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare, or adjust the cooking time based on your preferred level of doneness. Use a meat thermometer to ensure the internal temperature reaches 130°F for medium-rare.
Remove the steak from the grill and let it rest on a cutting board for 5-10 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.
Slice the steak thinly against the grain. Drizzle generously with the garlic parsley sauce before serving.
Serve immediately alongside your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables or a fresh salad.
