Ingredients

• 1 pound Flank steak
• 4 pieces Garlic cloves
• 2 teaspoons Black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon Red wine vinegar
• 1 teaspoon Honey
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Place the flank steak on a clean cutting board. Use a sharp knife to score the surface lightly on both sides in a crisscross pattern; this helps the marinade penetrate the meat.

Step 2

Peel and finely mince the garlic cloves. Add the minced garlic to a medium-sized mixing bowl.

Step 3

In the same bowl, combine black pepper, salt, olive oil, soy sauce, red wine vinegar, and honey. Whisk together until the mixture is emulsified.

Step 4

Place the flank steak in a large resealable plastic bag or shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the steak, ensuring it is evenly coated. Seal the bag (or cover the dish) and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight for maximum flavor.

Step 5

When ready to cook, remove the steak from the refrigerator and allow it to come to room temperature for 20-30 minutes.

Step 6

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

Step 7

Remove the steak from the marinade, allowing any excess liquid to drip off. Discard the marinade.

Step 8

Place the steak on the grill and cook for 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare, or to your desired level of doneness. Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature (135°F for medium-rare, 145°F for medium).

Step 9

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

Step 10

Slice the steak thinly against the grain. Optionally garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.

Step 11

Serve immediately with your favorite side dishes, such as grilled vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a fresh salad.
