Ingredients
Scale
For the Marinade and Steak
- 1.5 lbs flank steak
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 2 tbsp honey
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp grated ginger
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1 tbsp lime juice
Instructions
- Prepare the marinade: In a medium bowl, thoroughly combine soy sauce, olive oil, honey, minced garlic, grated ginger, black pepper, and lime juice to create a balanced and flavorful marinade.
- Marinate the steak: Place the flank steak inside a resealable plastic bag and pour the marinade over the meat, ensuring it is evenly coated. Seal the bag tightly and refrigerate for a minimum of 2 hours, preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to deeply penetrate the steak.
- Preheat the grill: When ready to cook, preheat your grill to medium-high heat to ensure a hot grilling surface that sears the outside of the steak while keeping it juicy inside.
- Grill the steak: Remove the steak from the marinade, letting excess marinade drip off. Grill the steak for 4-5 minutes per side to achieve a medium-rare doneness, adjusting time slightly as needed for desired doneness. After grilling, let the steak rest for 5 minutes to redistribute juices, then slice against the grain for tender, juicy slices ready to serve.
Notes
- Marinating overnight improves flavor and tenderness.
- Adjust grilling time based on steak thickness and preferred doneness.
- Always slice flank steak against the grain to maximize tenderness.
- Resting the steak after grilling ensures juicy results.
- If grilling isn’t an option, the steak can be cooked on a stovetop grill pan or broiled in the oven.
