Ingredients

• 1 pound flank steak
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 1.5 teaspoons salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 whole cucumber, diced
• 0.5 cup pepperoncini, finely chopped
• 0.25 cup red onion, finely diced
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
• 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
• 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
• 1 teaspoon honey

Directions

Step 1

Pat the flank steak dry using paper towels. Rub both sides with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 1 teaspoon of black pepper. Set aside to marinate for 15 minutes at room temperature.

Step 2

While the steak is marinating, prepare the cucumber pepperoncini relish. In a medium bowl, combine the diced cucumber, chopped pepperoncini, red onion, and parsley.

Step 3

In a small bowl, whisk together the red wine vinegar, extra virgin olive oil, honey, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Pour the dressing over the cucumber mixture and toss to combine. Set the relish aside to allow the flavors to meld.

Step 4

Heat a large skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat. Add 1 tablespoon of olive oil and allow it to shimmer.

Step 5

Place the flank steak in the pan and sear for 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or longer depending on your desired level of doneness.

Step 6

Remove the steak from the pan and transfer it to a cutting board. Let it rest for 5 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.

Step 7

Slice the steak thinly against the grain to maximize tenderness.

Step 8

Serve the sliced flank steak topped with the cucumber pepperoncini relish. Enjoy!
