Ingredients
 

Main Ingredients

  • 1.5 pound flank steak
  • 0.25 cup soy sauce
  • 0.25 cup olive oil
  • 2 tablespoon fresh lime juice
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
  • 3 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper freshly ground
  • 0.5 teaspoon red pepper flakes optional heat
  • 0.5 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 tablespoon high-heat oil for greasing grill grates
  • 2 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped for garnish

Instructions

Preparation Steps

  • Pat the flank steak dry and trim any excess surface fat; lightly score the surface in a crosshatch pattern to help the marinade penetrate.
  • Whisk soy sauce, olive oil, lime juice, brown sugar, minced garlic, salt, black pepper, red pepper flakes, and cumin in a bowl.
  • Place steak in a large zip-top bag or shallow dish and pour in the marinade. Seal and refrigerate at least 30 minutes and up to 8 hours, turning once.
  • Preheat the grill to high heat (about 450 to 500°F). Clean and oil the grates with high-heat oil.
  • Remove steak from marinade, letting excess drip off; pat lightly dry for better searing.
  • Grill the steak for 4 to 6 minutes per side for medium-rare, or until an instant-read thermometer reads 130 to 135°F.
  • Transfer to a cutting board, tent loosely with foil, and rest 10 minutes. Slice thinly against the grain and garnish with parsley.

Notes

For best flavor, marinate at least 2 hours. Doneness guide: rare 125°F, medium-rare 130 to 135°F, medium 140 to 145°F. Always slice flank steak thinly against the grain for tenderness.
