Ingredients:
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Instructions:
-
Prepare the Steak: Begin by using a sharp paring knife to make ¼ inch slits in one side of the flank steak. Stuff these slits generously with minced garlic. Place the steak in a shallow dish that is large enough to accommodate the steak comfortably.
-
Make the Marinade: In a separate bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, soy sauce, honey, and olive oil until the mixture is well emulsified and combined.
-
Marinate the Steak: Pour the prepared marinade over the steak, ensuring it is well coated. Cover the dish and let the steak marinate at room temperature for at least 1 hour. For a deeper flavor, you can marinate the steak in the refrigerator for up to 10 hours. Turn the steak occasionally during the marinating process to ensure even coverage.
-
Prepare for Cooking: Once marinating is complete, remove the steak from the marinade and let it come to room temperature. Discard the garlic from the steak.
-
Cooking Options:
- Broiling: Preheat your broiler and set the oven rack about 4 inches from the heat source. Broil the steak for 10-12 minutes, turning once, for a medium-rare doneness. Reserve the pan juices for serving.
- Grilling: Alternatively, you can grill the steak over hot coals. Brush the steak occasionally with the reserved marinade and grill for the same amount of time as the broiler.
-
Rest and Serve: Once cooked to your preferred doneness, transfer the steak to a platter and let it rest for 10 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute, ensuring a tender and juicy steak.
-
Slice and Enjoy: After resting, slice the steak thinly across the grain. Serve with the reserved pan juices drizzled over the top for extra flavor.
