Notes

Slicing technique – Always slice flank steak against the grain to shorten the muscle fibers and ensure tender bites.
Internal temperature – For medium-rare, remove the steak from the grill when it reaches 130°F (54°C). The temperature will rise another 5 degrees while resting.
Room temperature – Let the marinated steak sit at room temperature for 30 minutes before grilling for more even cooking.
Scaling – This recipe easily doubles for larger gatherings. Grill in batches to avoid overcrowding and ensure proper searing.
