Ingredients
- 1 pound flank steak
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 tablespoons lemon juice, freshly squeezed
- 2 tablespoons orange juice, freshly squeezed
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme, chopped
- 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
Directions
Step 1
In a medium bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, orange juice, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, chopped thyme, ground black pepper, and sea salt to create the marinade.
Step 2
Place the flank steak in a large resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the steak, ensuring it is well coated.
Step 3
Seal the bag (or cover the dish) and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or up to overnight, to allow the flavors to infuse into the meat.
Step 4
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F).
Step 5
Remove the steak from the marinade and allow any excess liquid to drip off. Discard the used marinade.
Step 6
Place the steak on the preheated grill.
Step 7
Grill the steak for about 4-6 minutes per side, depending on the thickness of the steak and your preferred level of doneness. For medium-rare, aim for an internal temperature of 135°F.
Step 8
Once cooked, remove the steak from the grill and let it rest for at least 5 minutes, allowing the juices to redistribute within the meat.
Step 9
Slice the flank steak thinly against the grain and serve immediately.
