  • Optional: 2 tsp lime zest

Instructions

  1. In a mixing bowl, blend all marinade ingredients until well combined.
  2. Place the flank steak in a Ziploc bag and pour the marinade over it. Seal tightly to ensure even coating.

  8. Use an instant-read meat thermometer to ensure an internal temperature of 140-145°F for medium rare or 155-160°F for medium.
  9. Let the steak rest covered with foil for about 5 minutes before slicing against the grain.
