How to Make Sizzling Flank Steak Middle Eastern Style

  1. In a shallow baking dish, whisk together 1/4 cup olive oil, 2 tablespoons lemon juice, 1 tablespoon ground cumin, 1 tablespoon paprika, 1 teaspoon ground coriander, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon, 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional), 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
  2. Add the 1.5 lb flank steak to the marinade, ensuring both sides are coated.
  3. Cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 8 hours, or preferably overnight, turning the steak occasionally.
  4. Remove the steak from the marinade, reserving the marinade. Pat the steak dry with paper towels.
  5. Preheat your grill or broiler. Grill or broil the steak for 5-7 minutes per side for medium-rare, or to your desired doneness. Use a meat thermometer to ensure it reaches your preferred internal temperature.
  6. Transfer the steak to a platter and let it rest for 5-10 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.
  7. While the steak rests, strain the marinade through a fine-mesh sieve into a small saucepan, discarding the solids.
  8. Bring the strained marinade to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 3-5 minutes, or until slightly thickened.
  9. Thinly slice the steak against the grain.
  10. Pour the reduced marinade over the sliced steak.
  11. Garnish with fresh cilantro sprigs and serve immediately with cinnamon rice.
