Ingredients
Scale
- Flank Steak Marinade:
- 1 1/2 pounds flank steak
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon salt
- Steak Preparation:
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
Instructions
- Marinate the Steak:
- In a bowl, combine the olive oil, soy sauce, garlic, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, honey, black pepper, and salt. Mix well.
- Place the flank steak in a resealable plastic bag and pour the marinade over it. Seal the bag, ensuring the steak is well coated.
- Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or ideally overnight for maximum flavor.
- Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Prepare the Steak for Baking:
- Remove the steak from the marinade and pat it dry with paper towels.
- In a small bowl, mix the paprika, onion powder, and ground cumin. Rub this spice mix evenly over both sides of the steak.
- Bake the Steak:
- Place the steak on a baking sheet lined with aluminum foil.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes, or until the steak reaches your desired level of doneness. Use a meat thermometer to check:
- Rare: 120-125°F (49-52°C)
- Medium-Rare: 130-135°F (54-57°C)
- Medium: 140-145°F (60-63°C)
- Medium-Well: 150-155°F (65-68°C)
- Well-Done: 160°F (71°C) and above
- Rest and Slice:
- Remove the steak from the oven and let it rest for about 10 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute throughout the meat.
- Slice the steak thinly against the grain for the best texture and tenderness.
Notes
- Marinating Time: For the best flavor, marinate the steak overnight.
- Cooking Time: Adjust the cooking time based on the thickness of the steak and your preferred doneness.
