Prep Time: 20 mins
Cook Time: 10 mins
Total Time: 30 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 4 servings

Ingredients

  1. 1 flank steak
  2. 3 cloves garlic, minced
  3. 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  4. 1 tablespoon olive oil
  5. Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Remove the flank steak from the refrigerator 30 minutes before cooking to allow it to come to room temperature, which ensures more even cooking.
  2. Pat the steak dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture, which helps achieve a better sear.
  3. In a small bowl, mix minced garlic, lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and black pepper to create a marinade.
  4. Rub the marinade evenly over both sides of the flank steak, ensuring complete coverage.
  5. Preheat a grill pan or outdoor grill to high heat, around 450-500°F.
  6. Place the marinated steak on the hot grill and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare doneness.
  7. Use a meat thermometer to check internal temperature: 130-135°F for medium-rare, 140-145°F for medium.
  8. Remove steak from heat and let it rest on a cutting board for 5-10 minutes to allow juices to redistribute.
  9. Slice the steak against the grain into thin strips for maximum tenderness.
  10. Garnish with fresh chopped parsley or additional lemon zest if desired, and serve immediately.

Tips

  1. • Temperature is key: Always let your steak come to room temperature before cooking to ensure even heat distribution. • Pat the steak dry before marinating to help achieve that perfect golden-brown sear. • Use a meat thermometer for precise doneness - it's the secret to avoiding overcooked meat. • Always slice against the grain to maximize tenderness and create melt-in-your-mouth texture. • Let the steak rest after cooking to allow juices to redistribute, keeping the meat incredibly juicy. • For extra flavor, consider adding fresh herbs like chopped parsley or a sprinkle of lemon zest before serving. • If you don't have a grill pan, a cast-iron skillet works wonderfully for achieving a great sear.
