Equipment
- 1 Grill or grill pan
- 1 Meat thermometer
- 1 Sharp knife
- 1 Cutting board
- 1 Small saucepan
- 1 Basting brush
Ingredients
- 2 pounds flank steak
- ½ cup unsalted butter 1 stick
- 4 cloves garlic minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh cilantro chopped
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 juice of lime
Instructions
- In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the unsalted butter. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 2 minutes until fragrant. Do not let it burn.
- Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the chopped parsley, cilantro, sea salt, black pepper, paprika, and lime juice. Set aside.
- Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. While it heats up, season the flank steak on both sides with salt, pepper, and paprika.
- Once the grill is hot, place the steak on it. Grill for 6-7 minutes on each side for medium-rare, depending on the thickness of the steak. Use a meat thermometer to check for doneness; it should read 130°F (54°C) for medium-rare.
- When the steak is done, remove it from the grill and let it rest for about 5 minutes. This helps retain the juices.
- Slice the steak against the grain into thin strips. Arrange the slices on a serving platter and drizzle generously with the garlic butter mixture.
- Serve with additional lime wedges and garnish with extra chopped herbs if desired.
Notes
Adjust the grilling time based on your preferred level of doneness.
You can marinate the steak in the garlic butter mixture for a couple of hours before grilling for even more flavor.
This dish pairs well with rice, grilled vegetables, or a fresh salad.
