Ingredients
  

Main
  • 2 lbs flank steak
  • 1/2 cup olive oil
  • 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • 2 tsp dried oregano
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tsp red pepper flakes optional

Equipment

  • Mixing bowl
  • Whisk
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Grill or skillet
  • Cooking tongs

Method
 

  1. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, dried oregano, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes.
  2. Place the flank steak in a large resealable plastic bag and pour the marinade over it. Seal the bag and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or overnight for deeper flavor.
  3. Heat your grill or skillet over medium-high heat.
  4. Take the steak out of the marinade and let any excess drip off.
  5. Place the steak on the grill and cook for about 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare.
  6. If using a meat thermometer, check for an internal temperature of 130-135°F for medium-rare.
  7. Remove the steak from the grill and let it rest for at least 5 minutes.
  8. Slice the steak against the grain into thin strips.
