Equipment

  • Large bowl
  • Grill or grill pan
  • meat thermometer (if available)

Ingredients

For the marinade:

  • ¼ cup olive oil
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 tbsp red wine vinegar
  • cup reduced-sodium soy sauce
  • ¼ cup honey
  • 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes

For the steak

  • 2 lb flank steak
  • Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Mix all marinade ingredients in a small bowl
  • Place flank steak in a large bowl or zipper bag.
  • Pour marinade over flank steak, turning it so it is fully covered in the marinade.
  • Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate at least 2 hrs to overnight for best flavor.
  • Preheat the grill on high heat.
  • Remove the steak from the marinade and sprinkle it with coarse salt and freshly ground pepper.
  • Place the steak on the hot grill and brown it for about 2 minutes on each side. Move the steak to a cooler spot on the grill (spot with indirect heat), and continue cooking until done to your liking. (rare: 120 F internal temperature, medium-rare: 130 F internal temperature, medium: 140 F internal temperature, medium-well: 150 F internal temperature, well done: 160 F internal temperature)
  • Let the steak rest for 5 minutes before cutting it against the grain. Serve with grilled veggies or a side salad.

Notes

If the pan or grill is not hot enough, the steak might stick to it. To prevent this from happening, spray your pan or grill with a little non-stick spray.
