Ingredients

• 1 pound flank steak
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons freshly cracked black pepper
• 1 teaspoon kosher salt
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon onion powder
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Remove the flank steak from the refrigerator and allow it to come to room temperature for 20-30 minutes before cooking.

Step 2

In a small bowl, combine the olive oil, freshly cracked black pepper, kosher salt, garlic powder, smoked paprika, and onion powder to create a seasoning mixture.

Step 3

Rub the seasoning mixture all over both sides of the flank steak, ensuring an even coating.

Step 4

Preheat your grill to high heat, approximately 450-500°F.

Step 5

Brush the grill grates with a bit of oil to prevent sticking.

Step 6

Place the seasoned flank steak on the hot grill. Cook for 4-6 minutes per side for medium rare, or adjust the time based on your preferred doneness level (use a meat thermometer: 130°F for medium rare, 140°F for medium).

Step 7

Once cooked, remove the steak from the grill and place it on a cutting board. Drizzle the lemon juice over the steak and tent it loosely with aluminum foil. Let it rest for 5-7 minutes to retain the juices.

Step 8

Slice the steak thinly against the grain to ensure tenderness.

Step 9

Garnish with chopped fresh parsley, and serve warm. Pair with grilled vegetables or a fresh green salad for a complete meal.
