Ingredients
- 2 lb. flank steak, about 1 in. thick
- 2 tsp. salt
- 2 tsp. pepper
Instructions
-
Pat the flank steak dry with paper towels. Sprinkle with the salt and pepper.
-
Prepare a grill for direct cooking over medium-high and lightly oil the grate.
-
When the grate is good and hot, add the steak and cook to an internal temperature of 120°F for rare or 130°F for medium-rare, 4 to 5 minutes per side.
-
Transfer to a cutting board and let rest about 5 minutes.
-
Notice the grain or the stripes running lengthwise in the meat. Thinly slice the steak width-wise, across the grain (at a 90° angle to the stripes), and serve.
