Ingredients
- 1.5 pounds flank steak
- 1.0 cups Merlot wine
- 2.0 tablespoons olive oil
- 2.0 tablespoons fresh rosemary
- 3.0 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 1.0 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1.0 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoons red chili flakes (optional)
Directions
Step 1
In a small bowl, whisk together the Merlot wine, olive oil, minced garlic, fresh rosemary, lemon juice, salt, black pepper, and chili flakes (if using). This will be your 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 fully coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish with plastic wrap.
Step 3
Marinate the steak in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or up to overnight for deeper flavor. Turn the steak occasionally to evenly distribute the marinade.
Step 4
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Alternatively, you can use a grill pan on your stovetop.
Step 5
Remove the steak from the marinade, letting the excess marinade drip off. Discard the marinade.
Step 6
Place the steak on the preheated grill and cook for 5-7 minutes per side for medium-rare, or until your desired level of doneness is reached. Use a meat thermometer for accuracy (130-135°F for medium-rare).
Step 7
Remove the steak from the grill and transfer it to a cutting board. Let it rest for 5-10 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.
Step 8
Slice the flank steak thinly against the grain. This ensures tender, easy-to-chew slices.
Step 9
Serve immediately, garnished with additional fresh rosemary if desired. Enjoy your Rosemary Merlot Flank Steak with your favorite side dishes!
