Ingredients

• 1.5 lbs flank steak
• 3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
• 2 tsp ground coriander
• 1.5 tsp ground cumin
• 1 tsp paprika
• 0.5 tsp ground cinnamon
• 4 cloves garlic cloves, minced
• 1 tsp lemon zest
• 2 tbsp lemon juice
• 1 tbsp honey
• 1 tsp salt
• 0.5 tsp black pepper
• 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped

Directions

Step 1

Place the flank steak on a cutting board and trim any excess fat or silver skin. Pat the steak dry with paper towels.

Step 2

In a small bowl, combine olive oil, ground coriander, ground cumin, paprika, ground cinnamon, minced garlic, lemon zest, lemon juice, honey, salt, and black pepper. Mix until it forms a smooth marinade.

Step 3

Place the steak in a large zip-top bag or shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the steak, ensuring it is fully coated. Seal the bag (or cover the dish) and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or up to 12 hours for maximum flavor.

Step 4

Remove the steak from the refrigerator 30 minutes before cooking to bring it to room temperature.

Step 5

Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.

Step 6

Remove the steak from the marinade, allowing any excess to drip off. Place the steak on the hot grill and cook for 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare, or until your desired doneness is reached.

Step 7

Transfer the cooked steak to a cutting board and let it rest for 5-10 minutes to retain its juices.

Step 8

Slice the steak thinly against the grain to ensure tender slices. Sprinkle with fresh parsley before serving.

Step 9

Serve with your choice of sides, such as roasted vegetables, couscous, or a crisp Mediterranean salad.
