To cook the flank steak
- Place the flank steak in a large resealable plastic bag and pour the marinade over it. Seal the bag and massage the marinade into the meat to coat evenly.
- Marinate the steak in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or overnight for maximum flavor.
- Preheat grill or grill pan to high heat.
- Grill the steak for 3-4 minutes per side for medium-rare, or cook to your desired level of doneness. Internal temperature of 130-140 °F (54-60 °C) will be medium rare.
- Remove from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing against the grain. Serve and enjoy!
