Ingredients

• 1 pound flank steak
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon honey
• 3 cloves garlic
• 2 tablespoons lime juice
• 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon cumin powder
• 0.5 teaspoon paprika

Directions

Step 1

Begin by preparing the marinade. In a medium-sized bowl, combine 3 tablespoons of olive oil, 2 tablespoons of soy sauce, 1 tablespoon of honey, 3 minced garlic cloves, 2 tablespoons of lime juice, 0.5 teaspoon of ground black pepper, 0.5 teaspoon of salt, 0.5 teaspoon of cumin powder, and 0.5 teaspoon of paprika.

Step 2

Place the 1 pound of flank steak in a large resealable plastic bag. Pour the marinade over the steak, seal the bag, and gently massage the marinade into the steak ensuring it is evenly coated.

Step 3

Refrigerate the steak for at least 1 hour, or overnight for best results, to let the flavors infuse.

Step 4

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, around 400°F (200°C). Once the grill is hot, remove the steak from the marinade and let any excess marinade drip off.

Step 5

Place the flank steak on the grill and cook for 5-7 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or adjust the cooking time to your desired level of doneness.

Step 6

Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature of the steak. For medium-rare, it should register at 130°F (54°C).

Step 7

Once cooked, remove the steak from the grill and let it rest for about 5-10 minutes on a cutting board. This will allow the juices to redistribute within the meat, ensuring it remains juicy and tender.

Step 8

After resting, slice the steak thinly against the grain for maximum tenderness.

Step 9

Serve the grilled flank steak with your choice of sides like grilled vegetables, a fresh salad, or a warm baguette.
