- Whisk together oil, soy sauce, lemon juice, brown sugar, and garlic in a bowl. Place flank steak inside a gallon-size resealable plastic bag. Add marinade, press out excess air, and seal.

- Heat grill to medium-high. Remove meat from marinade, reserving marinade, and pat off excess with paper towels. Grill, uncovered, turning once, until a thermometer inserted into thickest part registers 130 degrees for medium-rare, about 5 minutes on each side. Transfer to a cutting board and let stand 10 minutes.
- Meanwhile, transfer marinade to a small saucepan and bring to a boil. Remove from heat.
- Slice meat against the grain and arrange on a platter. Arrange arugula on top; season with salt and pepper. Drizzle 1 to 2 tablespoons sauce over meat and arugula. Serve with remaining sauce and lemon wedges.

Tips:
- Choose the right flank steak: Look for a flank steak that is about 1 1/2 to 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 for at least 30 minutes, or up to 24 hours, will help to tenderize it and infuse it with flavor. You can use a variety of marinades, such as the one provided in the recipe.
- Cook the steak over high heat: Flank steak should be cooked over high heat to quickly sear the outside and prevent it from becoming tough. Cook the steak for about 3-4 minutes per side, or until it reaches the desired doneness.
- Let the steak rest: After cooking, let the steak rest for a few minutes before slicing. This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the steak, making it more tender and flavorful.
- Serve the steak with a flavorful sauce: Flank steak is a great candidate for a variety of sauces, such as chimichurri, salsa, or horseradish sauce.
