Ingredients

• 1 pound Flank steak
• 0.25 cup Soy sauce
• 0.25 cup Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Honey
• 4 pieces Garlic cloves, minced
• 2 tablespoons Freshly squeezed lime juice
• 1 teaspoon Ground black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
• 0.5 teaspoons Red pepper flakes (optional)
• 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro, chopped (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, olive oil, honey, minced garlic, lime juice, ground black pepper, ground cumin, and red pepper flakes (if using).

Step 2

Place the flank steak in a large resealable plastic bag or shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the steak, ensuring it is well-coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish with plastic wrap.

Step 3

Refrigerate the steak for at least 2 hours, preferably 6 to 8 hours, to allow the flavors to penetrate the meat. Turn the steak occasionally to ensure even marination.

Step 4

Remove the steak from the refrigerator about 30 minutes before cooking to bring it up to room temperature.

Step 5

Preheat your grill to high heat or set your broiler to high. Lightly oil the grilling surface if using a grill.

Step 6

Remove the steak from the marinade and pat it dry with paper towels. Discard the remaining marinade.

Step 7

Grill or broil the steak for 4 to 6 minutes per side for medium-rare, or adjust the cooking time for your desired doneness. Use a meat thermometer if needed (130°F for medium-rare, 140°F for medium).

Step 8

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

Step 9

Slice the flank steak against the grain into thin strips. This ensures the meat is tender and easy to chew.

Step 10

Arrange the slices on a serving platter, garnish with fresh cilantro if desired, and serve immediately.
