Ingredients
Scale
Flank Steak Marinade:
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1/2 teaspoons sesame oil
- 2 teaspoons garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon worcestershire sauce
- 1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon dried rosemary, crushed
- pinch of kosher salt
- pinch of ground black pepper
Flank Steak:
- 1 1/2 pounds flank steak
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- 1 batch chimichurri sauce for serving
Instructions
- Marinate Steak: Combine Flank Steak Marinade ingredients in a small bowl; whisk to combine. Pat flank steak dry with a clean paper towel. Season with salt and pepper – press into the meat. Place steak in a reusable silicone bag or glass container. Pour marinade over top and ensure the steak is fully coated. Let marinate at least 30 minutes.
- Cook Steak: Bring a large cast iron skillet to medium-high heat. Add oil, swirl to coat the pan. Remove flank steak from the marinade letting excess liquid drip off; discard marinade. Place steak in the hot pan and sear 4-5 minutes per side and then 1-2 minutes per side until the internal temperature towards the thickest part of the steak reaches 130-135 degrees F. for a medium-rare finish (use an internal meat thermometer for accuracy) – during the cooking process turn down the heat, as-needed, if your skillet really gets hot and/or add a little extra oil if the pan is dry – to avoid burning.
- Rest + Serve: Remove from skillet and place on a cutting board to rest 10 minutes. Slice against the grain and serve – we love serving it with this Homemade Chimichurri Sauce or in these Steak Fajita Bowls.
Notes
- Chili Lime Fajita Marinade Option: We also have a Chili Lime Flank Steak Marinade that we love!
- Storage: store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
