Ingredients

• 2 pounds flank steak
• 0.25 cup olive oil
• 0.25 cup soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons honey
• 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
• 3 cloves (minced) garlic
• 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon salt

Directions

Step 1

In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together olive oil, soy sauce, honey, red wine vinegar, minced garlic, ground black pepper, ground cumin, smoked paprika, and salt to create the marinade.

Step 2

Place the flank steak in a large resealable plastic bag or shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the steak, ensuring the meat is fully coated.

Step 3

Seal the bag or cover the dish with plastic wrap. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or up to overnight for maximum flavor.

Step 4

When ready to cook, preheat your grill or broiler to high heat.

Step 5

Remove the flank steak from the marinade, letting the excess drip off, and discard the remaining marinade.

Step 6

Grill or broil the steak for 4-6 minutes per side, depending on thickness, until it reaches an internal temperature of 130°F (54°C) for medium-rare or your desired doneness.

Step 7

Remove the steak from the heat and let it rest for 5-10 minutes on a cutting board, tented with foil, to allow the juices to redistribute.

Step 8

Slice the flank steak thinly against the grain and serve immediately. Enjoy!
