Ingredients

• 1.5 pounds flank steak
• 0.5 cup soy sauce
• 0.25 cup olive oil
• 2 tablespoons honey
• 4 cloves garlic
• 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
• 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)

Directions

Step 1

In a medium mixing bowl, combine soy sauce, olive oil, honey, minced garlic, lime juice, black pepper, salt, and red pepper flakes if using. Whisk together until the honey is dissolved and the marinade is well blended.

Step 2

Place the flank steak in a large resealable plastic bag or glass baking dish. Pour the marinade over the steak, ensuring it is fully coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish with plastic wrap. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight, for maximum flavor.

Step 3

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F). Lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.

Step 4

Remove the flank steak from the marinade, allowing any excess to drip off, and discard the marinade. Pat the steak lightly with paper towels to remove additional moisture for a good sear.

Step 5

Place the steak on the preheated grill. Cook for about 5-6 minutes per side, or until an internal temperature of 130°F for medium-rare (adjust cook time depending on your desired level of doneness).

Step 6

Once cooked, transfer the steak to a cutting board and let it rest for 5-10 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute, ensuring a tender steak.

Step 7

Slice the steak against the grain into thin strips for maximum tenderness. Serve immediately with your choice of sides.
