Ingredients

• 1.5 pounds flank steak
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 teaspoons paprika (preferably smoked)
• 4 cloves garlic cloves, minced
• 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon kosher salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, paprika, minced garlic, red wine vinegar, ground cumin, dried oregano, kosher salt, black pepper, and lemon juice to create the marinade.

Step 2

Place the flank steak in a resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the steak, ensuring it is evenly coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight for maximum flavor.

Step 3

Remove the steak from the refrigerator about 30 minutes before cooking to bring it to room temperature.

Step 4

Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Lightly grease the grates with oil to prevent sticking.

Step 5

Remove the steak from the marinade, allowing any excess to drip off, and place it on the hot grill. Discard the used marinade.

Step 6

Grill the steak for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until it reaches your desired level of doneness (130°F for medium-rare, 140°F for medium).

Step 7

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

Step 8

Slice the flank steak thinly against the grain to achieve tender slices.

Step 9

Optionally, garnish with chopped parsley before serving. Serve warm with your favorite sides, such as roasted potatoes, grilled vegetables, or a fresh salad.
