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
- Prepare the Marinade: In a large bowl, whisk together Worcestershire sauce, tamari sauce, freshly squeezed lemon juice, honey, grated garlic, dried thyme, and black pepper until well combined to create the marinade base.
- Marinate the Steak: Place the flank steak into the marinade, ensuring it is well coated. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to infuse and the meat to tenderize, or marinate up to 24 hours for deeper flavor.
- Preheat the Grill: When ready to cook, preheat an outdoor gas grill to a high heat of about 450°F to ensure a good sear and grill marks on the steak.
- Grill the Steak: Place the marinated flank steak onto the hot grill and cook for 5 to 6 minutes on each side, aiming for medium-rare doneness. Use an instant-read thermometer to check the internal temperature; 130°F to 140°F is medium rare, while 150°F is medium well.
- Rest the Steak: Remove the steak from the grill and place it on a rimmed platter to collect juices. Cover loosely with foil and let it rest for at least 10 minutes. This resting step allows the juices to redistribute, enhancing tenderness and flavor.
- Slice and Serve: After resting, thinly slice the steak across the grain to maximize tenderness. Serve immediately and enjoy the flavorful, juicy grilled flank steak.
Notes
- Marinating the steak overnight intensifies the flavors and tenderizes the meat even further.
- Be sure to slice the steak thinly against the grain for the most tender bites.
- If you prefer your steak more cooked, adjust grilling times accordingly and use a meat thermometer for accuracy.
- Low sodium tamari is a great gluten-free substitute for soy sauce in the marinade.
- Letting the steak rest after grilling is crucial to keep it juicy and flavorful.
