Ingredients:

• 3 tablespoons red wine
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 tablespoon fresh thyme, finely chopped
• 1 tablespoon garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon fresh oregano, finely chopped
• 2 tablespoons fresh chives, finely chopped
• 1 teaspoon ginger, minced
• 1 shallot, finely chopped
• 1 teaspoon salt

For the Steak:

• 1 ½ to 2 pounds flank steak (adjust based on the number of servings desired)

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Marinade:
   In a mixing bowl, combine the red wine, olive oil, black pepper, fresh thyme, garlic, fresh oregano, fresh chives, ginger, shallot, and salt. Stir until all the ingredients are well-blended, forming a fragrant paste.

2. Tenderize the Steak:
   Using a meat mallet, gently pound the flank steak on both sides. This step will help tenderize the meat, ensuring it absorbs the flavors of the marinade more effectively.

3. Marinate the Steak:
   Coat the steak generously with the herb paste. Ensure that the paste covers the steak evenly. Place the steak in a resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish, cover, and refrigerate for 24 hours. This extended marination period will allow the flavors to penetrate the meat thoroughly, making each bite flavorful and juicy.

4. Grill the Steak:
   Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Remove the steak from the refrigerator and let it come to room temperature. Grill the steak for 5-7 minutes on each side, or until it reaches your preferred level of doneness. For medium-rare, aim for an internal temperature of 135°F (57°C). Adjust the grilling time according to your taste and the thickness of the steak.

5. Serve:
   Once grilled, transfer the steak to a cutting board and let it rest for a few minutes. This resting period allows the juices to redistribute, ensuring a juicy and tender steak. Thinly slice the steak across the grain to maximize tenderness. Serve the steak over a bed of greens or alongside a serving of rice for a complete meal.
