Bobby Flay Flank Steak with Honey-Garlic Glaze Recipe

Bobby Flay Flank Steak with Honey-Garlic Glaze

Flank steak is a lean and flavorful cut that benefits from quick, high-heat cooking and a flavorful marinade. In this Bobby Flay-inspired recipe, the steak is marinated in a mixture of honey, garlic, soy sauce, and olive oil before being grilled or seared. The honey-garlic glaze adds depth, while a touch of acidity tenderizes the meat and enhances its natural flavor.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ lbs flank steak

  • 3 tablespoons honey

  • 3 garlic cloves, minced

  • 3 tablespoons soy sauce

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar (or rice vinegar)

  • ½ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional)

  • Salt and black pepper, to taste

  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley or cilantro (for garnish)

Instructions

  • Make the marinade – In a bowl, whisk together honey, garlic, soy sauce, olive oil, vinegar, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper until smooth.

  • Marinate the steak – Place flank steak in a resealable bag or shallow dish and pour in the marinade. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour (or up to 8 hours for deeper flavor).

  • Preheat the grill or skillet – Heat a grill or cast-iron pan over medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grates or pan.

  • Cook the steak – Remove steak from the marinade and pat dry. Grill or sear for 4–5 minutes per side for medium-rare, depending on thickness.

  • Glaze and rest – Brush leftover marinade onto the steak during the final minute of cooking to form a caramelized glaze. Transfer to a cutting board and let rest for 5 minutes.

  • Slice and serve – Cut against the grain into thin strips, garnish with chopped herbs, and serve hot.
