Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound flank steak
- 0.5 cup lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon lemon zest
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 10 wooden or metal skewers
- 0.5 cup Greek yogurt
- 0.25 cup mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice (for sauce)
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest (for sauce)
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 0.25 teaspoon salt (for sauce)
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper (for sauce)
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning.
Slice the flank steak into thin strips about 1 inch wide and 4-5 inches long, cutting against the grain for tenderness.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together lemon juice, lemon zest, olive oil, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, salt, and pepper.
Add the flank steak strips to the bowl and toss to coat evenly. Cover and let marinate in the fridge for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for more intense flavor.
While the steak marinates, prepare the lemon dipping sauce: In a small bowl, mix Greek yogurt, mayonnaise, lemon juice, lemon zest, honey, salt, and pepper until smooth. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.
Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.
Thread the marinated steak strips onto the skewers, folding the meat back and forth like an accordion as you thread them.
Grill the skewers for 3-4 minutes per side, or until the steak is cooked to your desired doneness. Remove from the grill and let rest for a few minutes.
Transfer the skewers to a serving platter. Optionally garnish with chopped parsley.
Serve the skewers hot with the lemon dipping sauce on the side.
