Ingredients
- Flank steak
- 1.5 pounds
- Olive oil
- 1/4 cup
- Lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons
- Garlic
- 4 cloves, minced
- Paprika
- 2 teaspoons
- Cumin
- 1 teaspoon
- Salt
- 1 teaspoon
- Black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon
- Fresh parsley
- 2 tablespoons, chopped (optional for garnish)
- Fresh cilantro
- 2 tablespoons, chopped (optional for garnish)
Instructions
- In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, paprika, cumin, salt, and black pepper to create a flavorful marinade.
- Place the flank steak in a large resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the steak, ensuring it is well-coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or ideally overnight for maximum flavor.
- Preheat the grill to high heat (about 450-500°F).
- Remove the steak from the marinade and discard the excess marinade.
- Grill the steak for 5-7 minutes per side, depending on your desired level of doneness (4-5 minutes for medium-rare). Use a meat thermometer to check for an internal temperature of 130°F for medium-rare or 145°F for medium.
- Once cooked, remove the steak from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute, ensuring a tender bite.
- Slice the steak against the grain into thin strips and serve. Garnish with chopped parsley and cilantro if desired.
Tips
- For extra flavor, consider adding a teaspoon of chili powder or a splash of soy sauce to the marinade.
- Serve with grilled vegetables or a fresh salad for a complete meal.
- Leftover steak can be sliced thinly and used in sandwiches or tacos for a delicious lunch option.
