Lay the flank steak flat on a cutting board and pat it dry with paper towels to remove any excess moisture.
In a small bowl, combine smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, dried oregano, dried thyme, cayenne pepper, ground black pepper, and kosher salt to form the blackened spice rub.
Rub both sides of the flank steak with olive oil, then generously coat the steak with the blackened spice rub, pressing it into the meat to ensure even coverage.
Preheat your grill to high heat (450-500°F). If using a charcoal grill, ensure the coals are evenly distributed and glowing hot.
Sear the flank steak directly on the hot grill grates for 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare. Adjust cooking time to your preferred level of doneness (use a meat thermometer: 130°F for medium-rare, 140°F for medium, etc.).
Remove the steak from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.
Slice the steak thinly against the grain to ensure tender cuts. Serve hot, garnished with lime wedges for squeezing over the steak and chopped parsley if desired.
