How to Make Argentine Grilled Flank Steak

  1. Score the steak 1/4 inch deep on both sides using a sharp knife.
  2. Generously rub 2 tablespoons of freshly cracked black pepper on both sides of the steak (adjust to taste). Place the steak in a large shallow dish or a thick ziplock bag.
  3. In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup olive oil, 1/4 cup red wine vinegar, 2 tablespoons chopped fresh oregano, 2 cloves minced garlic, 1 teaspoon smoked paprika, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes.
  4. Pour the marinade over the steak, ensuring it's fully coated.
  5. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 8 hours, or preferably overnight.
  6. Remove the steak from the marinade, discarding the marinade.
  7. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. For charcoal grills, aim for medium-hot coals.
  8. Grill the steak, covered, for 4 minutes per side for medium-rare. Adjust grilling time based on desired doneness; use a meat thermometer for accuracy.
  9. Remove from grill and let rest, covered, for 5 minutes before slicing.
  10. Slice the steak diagonally across the grain into thin slices.
  11. Serve immediately and enjoy your authentic Argentine culinary experience!
