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.
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)
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.
