How to Make Flank Steak Recipe

  1. In a medium saucepan, combine 1 cup soy sauce, ½ cup Worcestershire sauce, ¼ cup brown sugar, 2 tablespoons olive oil, 2 cloves minced garlic, 1 teaspoon dried oregano, and 1 teaspoon black pepper. Bring to a simmer over medium-low heat.
  2. Reduce heat to low and cook for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce slightly thickens.
  3. Remove from heat and let the marinade cool completely to room temperature.
  4. Place the flank steak (approximately 1.5 lbs) in a glass baking dish. Pour the cooled marinade over the steak, ensuring it's fully coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, turning the steak halfway through.
  5. Remove the steak from the marinade and let it come to room temperature for about 30 minutes before cooking.
  6. Preheat your grill, broiler, or grill pan to high heat. Grill or broil the steak for 5-6 minutes per side for medium-rare, adjusting cooking time based on your desired doneness. Use a meat thermometer to ensure the internal temperature reaches your preferred level of doneness (130-135°F for medium-rare).
  7. Remove the steak from the heat and let it rest for 10-15 minutes before slicing. This allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in a more tender and flavorful steak.
  8. Carve the steak against the grain into thin diagonal slices and serve immediately.
