Description

This Grilled Flank Steak recipe offers a flavorful and tender way to enjoy a classic cut of beef. Marinated in a savory blend of Worcestershire sauce, tamari, lemon juice, honey, garlic, and spices, then perfectly grilled to your preferred doneness, this dish is ideal for outdoor cooking enthusiasts and makes a satisfying main course for gatherings or family dinners.

Ingredients

Steak and Marinade

  • 2 pounds whole flank steak
  • ¼ cup Worcestershire sauce
  • 2 tablespoons low sodium tamari sauce
  • 1 lemon (juiced)
  • 2 teaspoons honey
  • 3 garlic cloves (grated)
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Marinade: In a large bowl, whisk together Worcestershire sauce, low sodium tamari sauce, freshly squeezed lemon juice, honey, grated garlic cloves, dried thyme, and black pepper until fully combined to create a flavorful marinade.
  2. Marinate the Steak: Place the flank steak into the bowl with the marinade and toss to ensure the meat is thoroughly coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour and up to 24 hours to allow the flavors to penetrate and tenderize the beef.
  3. Preheat the Grill: When ready to cook, preheat your outdoor gas grill to a high temperature of 450˚F, preparing it for a hot and quick sear that will lock in juices.
  4. Grill the Steak: Place the marinated steak on the hot grill and cook for about 5 to 6 minutes per side. Use an instant-read thermometer to check doneness: 130°F to 140°F indicates medium rare, while 150°F signals medium well. Remember that the steak’s internal temperature will rise approximately 5 degrees while resting.
  5. Rest and Slice: Remove the steak from the grill and place it on a rimmed platter to catch any juices. Cover loosely and let it rest for at least 10 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute. Then, slice the steak thinly across the grain for maximum tenderness and serve.

Notes

  • Marinate the steak for longer (up to 24 hours) to enhance flavor and tenderness.
  • Use a meat thermometer for best results and to avoid overcooking.
  • Always slice flank steak against the grain to ensure tenderness.
  • If you don’t have tamari, low sodium soy sauce can be a substitute.
  • To elevate flavor, add a pinch of smoked paprika or chili flakes to the marinade.
  • Letting the steak rest is critical to preserve juiciness before slicing.
