WHAT YOU NEED

Flank Steak + Marinade
  • 1½–2 lb flank steak
  • ½ cup olive oil
  • 1½ cups red wine
  • ¼ cup soy sauce
  • 2 Tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 2 Tbsp fresh rosemary, chopped
  • 4 garlic cloves, smashed
  • Salt + black pepper, to taste

COOK IT

1

Marinate The Steak.

Put the flank steak in a large zip-top bag or shallow dish with the olive oil, red wine, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, fresh rosemary, smashed garlic, salt and black pepper. Coat the steak well and refrigerate for 4 hours.

2

Take The Steak Out.

About 30 minutes before you plan to grill, take the steak out of the refrigerator but leave it in the marinade while it starts losing the refrigerator chill.

3

Get The Grill Hot.

Get the grill properly hot. Pull the flank steak from the marinade and pat it fairly dry. Wet steak steams. Dry steak gets the crust we're after.

4

Grill The Steak.

Grill the flank steak over high heat for roughly 4–6 minutes per side. Start checking the thickest part with an instant-read thermometer. Pull it around 130–135°F for medium-rare.

5

Let It Rest.

Move the steak to a cutting board and leave it alone for about 10 minutes. Yes, it smells amazing. No, that does not mean you should cut into it yet.

6

Slice Against The Grain + Serve.

Look for the long lines running through the flank steak. Slice thinly across those lines, not in the same direction. Serve while warm. Dinner’s ready.
