Ingredients
Scale
Main Protein:
- 1 lb (454 g) flank steak
Seasonings:
- 4 cloves fresh garlic (minced)
- Salt and pepper (to taste)
Cooking Fats and Garnish:
- 4 tablespoons (60 ml) unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons (30 ml) olive oil
- Fresh parsley (chopped, for garnish)
Instructions
- Prepare a flavor-packed marinade by combining minced garlic, olive oil, salt, and pepper in a mixing bowl.
- Thoroughly coat the flank steak with the marinade, allowing it to absorb the flavors at room temperature for half an hour.
- Heat the grill to a searing 400F/200C, creating the perfect medium-high cooking environment.
- Place the marinated steak on the hot grill, cooking for 4-5 minutes on each side to achieve a perfect medium-rare texture.
- While the steak cooks, create a luxurious garlic butter sauce by gently melting butter over low heat, then incorporating minced garlic and fresh parsley until aromatic.
- During the final minute of grilling, generously baste the steak with the fragrant garlic butter sauce to enhance its flavor profile.
- Remove the steak from the grill and let it rest for 5-10 minutes, allowing the juices to redistribute throughout the meat.
- Slice the steak against the grain to ensure maximum tenderness.
- Finish by drizzling additional garlic butter sauce over the sliced steak, creating a rich and indulgent presentation.
Notes
- Marinate the steak at room temperature to ensure even cooking and maximum flavor absorption.
- Use a meat thermometer for precise doneness, aiming for 130-135°F for perfect medium-rare texture.
- Create a gluten-free version by replacing any wheat-based ingredients with certified gluten-free alternatives.
- Leftovers can be sliced thinly and used in salads, sandwiches, or tacos for a delicious next-day meal.
