This recipe offers a flavorful and tender flank steak marinated with a blend of herbs and spices, perfect for a delightful meal.
On a cutting board, finely chop the garlic and thyme together.
Chopping the herbs and garlic together helps to release their flavors and blend them well.
In a ziplock bag, combine the garlic-thyme mixture, soy sauce, olive oil, salt, and pepper.
Ensure the bag is sealed properly to avoid any spills.
Add the flank steak to the bag, seal it, and massage the marinade into the meat.
Massaging the marinade into the meat helps it absorb the flavors more effectively.
Refrigerate the steak in the marinade for at least 3 hours or overnight.
The longer the steak marinates, the more flavorful it will be.
Preheat the broiler to high and position the rack 6 inches from the heat source.
Ensure the broiler pan is clean to prevent any smoke.
Remove the steak from the marinade, pat it dry, and place it on the broiler pan.
Patting the steak dry helps it sear better.
Broil the steak for 7 minutes on one side, then flip and broil for another 5-7 minutes.
Use a meat thermometer to check for doneness; aim for 140°F for medium-rare.
Let the steak rest for 10 minutes, then slice thinly against the grain.
Resting the steak allows the juices to redistribute, keeping it moist.
