Preparation

Step 1

1. Stir together all the ingredients for the marinade. Score the top of the steak so the marinade seeps in..about 1 inch cuts apart. Place the flank steak in a ziplock bag or bowl, and pour the marinade over it. Seal or cover and refrigerate for up to 12 hours, no less than 2 hours.

2. Remove steak from marinade and blot completely dry. Do not rinse it! Place on a plate, cover with plastic wrap and let come to room temperature, about 1 hour. If you’d like..boil down (reduce) the marinade to make a sauce.

3. Heat a grill pan or your outdoor grill until very hot. Oil (a neutral oil like vegetable) the grill pan when you can barely hold your hand over it for a few seconds. You want to see a little smoke. Season the steak generously with kosher salt and fresh, ground black pepper and slap it on the grill or grill pan. Let cook anywhere from 3-4 minutes per side (rare) to 6 or 7 minutes per side (well done). I cooked mine a little over 4 minutes per side for medium rare. Once it’s on the grill, do not move it until it’s time to turn it, so it forms a nice crust. If you want crisscross grill marks, move it once half way in between the cooking time for each side.

4. Remove the steak to a carving or cutting board and let rest for 10 minutes. If you cut into it before that, you’ll lose a lot of the juices, so patience is key here. The steak will absorb it’s juices (basically suck them back in) during those 10 minutes – making it, well, extremely juicy.

5. Using a SHARP knife, slice the steak against the grain on the bias. Top with chopped scallions and some of the reduced marinade and enjoy!
