Ingredients

• 1.5 pounds Flank steak
• 4 cloves Garlic cloves
• 2 teaspoons Red chile flakes
• 0.25 cups Soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 tablespoon Honey
• 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
• 2 tablespoons Fresh lime juice
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh cilantro

Directions

Step 1

In a medium mixing bowl, combine the minced garlic, red chile flakes, soy sauce, olive oil, honey, ground cumin, lime juice, salt, and black pepper. Whisk until well blended.

Step 2

Place the flank steak in a large, resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the steak, ensuring it is fully coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight for maximum flavor.

Step 3

Remove the steak from the refrigerator 30 minutes before cooking to bring it to room temperature. Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.

Step 4

Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking. Remove the steak from the marinade and discard the excess marinade.

Step 5

Grill the flank steak for approximately 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare, or until it reaches your desired doneness. Use an instant-read thermometer for accuracy (130-135°F for medium-rare).

Step 6

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

Step 7

Slice the steak thinly against the grain to ensure tenderness. Garnish with chopped fresh cilantro and serve immediately. Enjoy!
