Step 1

Begin by placing the flank steak onto a large cutting board. Use a meat tenderizer to even out your cut of meat. The goal here isn’t a certain thickness, rather to get everything even.

Step 2

Next, transfer the flank steak onto a large baking sheet with edges. You will be marinating the meat on the baking sheet.

Step 3

Sprinkle both sides of the flank steak with salt and pepper and massage the spices into the meat.

Step 4

Next, whisk together the soy sauce and honey and pour the marinade over the flank steak.

Step 5

Cover the flank steak with plastic wrap and place it in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, flipping the flank steak at 1 hour to make sure both sides of the flank steak have time to marinate. Alternatively, you can use a large, gallon-size bag or casserole dish.

Step 6

Preheat the grill to 450ºF – 500ºF.

Step 7

Remove the meat from the refrigerator and let it sit at room temperature for at least 15 minutes.

Step 8

Next, shake out any excess marinade from the flank steak and then sear the steak over direct heat for 1-2 minutes on each side (the grill should be very hot).

Step 9

Then, move the flank steak over to indirect heat and cook for about 10 minutes, flipping after 5 minutes. This will vary on how hot your grill is. Be sure to check the internal temperature of the steak at 5 minutes, 10 minutes, and so on until the internal temperature reaches about 130º – 135º for a medium-rare flank steak.

Step 10

Remove the steak from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes.

Step 11

Slice the flank steak into strips by cutting the meat across the grain of the steak to break up the muscle fibers in the steak.
