Ingredients

• 1.5 pounds flank steak
• 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
• 2 teaspoons fresh rosemary
• 2 teaspoons fresh thyme
• 4 cloves garlic cloves
• 1.5 teaspoons coarse kosher salt
• 1.5 teaspoons freshly cracked black pepper
• 1 tablespoon butter
• 2 teaspoons lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon parsley (for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Begin by patting the flank steak dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture and ensure a good sear.

Step 2

In a small bowl, mix the olive oil, chopped rosemary, thyme, and minced garlic to create a fragrant herb mixture.

Step 3

Rub the herb mixture evenly over both sides of the flank steak, ensuring the meat is well-coated.

Step 4

Sprinkle the coarse kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper over the steak, pressing gently to adhere the seasoning.

Step 5

Preheat a cast-iron skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat until it is very hot but not smoking. Add the butter and let it melt completely.

Step 6

Carefully place the steak in the skillet and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or longer depending on your preferred level of doneness.

Step 7

While the steak is cooking, occasionally spoon the melted butter and herb drippings over the meat to enhance its flavor.

Step 8

Remove the steak from the skillet and transfer it to a cutting board. Allow it to rest for 5 minutes to retain its juices.

Step 9

Just before serving, drizzle the freshly squeezed lemon juice over the steak for a bright, tangy finish.

Step 10

Slice the steak thinly against the grain and arrange it on a serving platter. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley.

Step 11

Serve warm with your favorite side dishes, such as roasted vegetables or a fresh green salad.
