Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 lbs flank steak
  • 1/2 cup soy sauce
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • Chopped fresh parsley (for garnish)
  • Lemon wedges (for serving)

Instructions

  • Prepare the Marinade:
    In a medium bowl, mix soy sauce, olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, honey, black pepper, and salt. Stir until well combined.

  • Marinate the Flank Steak:

    • Place the flank steak in a resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish.
    • Pour the marinade over the steak, ensuring it is well-coated.
    • Seal the bag (or cover the dish) and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight for maximum flavor.
  • Preheat the Grill:

    • Preheat the grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F).
    • Oil the grates to prevent the steak from sticking.
  • Grill the Steak:

    • Remove the steak from the marinade, allowing the excess to drip off.
    • Place the steak on the grill and cook for about 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare.
    • Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature (130°F for medium-rare).
  • Rest and Slice the Steak:

    • Transfer the grilled flank steak to a cutting board.
    • Let it rest for at least 5 minutes to retain its juices.
    • Slice the steak against the grain for maximum tenderness.
  • Garnish and Serve:

    • Arrange the slices on a serving platter.
    • Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and lemon wedges for a burst of color and freshness.
    • Serve with roasted vegetables, salad, or your favorite side dishes.

Notes

  • For best results, marinate the steak for at least 2 hours or overnight.

  • Cutting against the grain is crucial to ensuring the steak is tender and easy to chew.

  • This recipe works well with other cuts of beef, like skirt steak or sirloin.
