Tips:
- Choose the right flank steak: Look for a steak that is about 1 1/2 inches thick and has a good amount of marbling. This will ensure that the steak is tender and flavorful.
- Marinate the steak: Marinating the steak in a mixture of olive oil, garlic, herbs, and spices will help to tenderize and flavor the meat.
- Cook the steak over high heat: This will help to sear the outside of the steak and create a nice crust, while keeping the inside tender and juicy.
- Rest the steak: After cooking, let the steak rest for a few minutes before slicing. This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, making it more tender and flavorful.
- Slice the steak against the grain: This will help to make the steak more tender and easier to chew.
Conclusion:
Grilled flank steak is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed for lunch or dinner. By following the tips above, you can ensure that your flank steak is cooked to perfection. Serve the steak with your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables, grilled potatoes, or a simple salad.
