How to Make Lemon Zest Marinade For Flank Steak

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together the lemon zest, lemon juice, olive oil, garlic, oregano, salt, and pepper.
  2. Place the flank steak in a resealable plastic bag or shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the steak, ensuring it's fully coated.
  3. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 5 hours, or preferably overnight, turning the steak occasionally for even flavor distribution.
  4. Preheat your broiler to high. Remove the steak from the marinade and pat it dry with paper towels.
  5. Place the steak on a broiler pan and broil for 3-4 minutes per side, or until the desired level of doneness is reached. Use a meat thermometer to ensure the internal temperature reaches 130-135°F (54-57°C) for medium-rare.
  6. Let the steak rest for 10 minutes before slicing it thinly against the grain at a slight angle. Serve and enjoy!
