Ingredients

  • Preheat the grill to 250℃ (482℉) on direct heat.
    - When I grill flank steak, I prefer to do it over direct high heat. The meat has a coarse texture and can withstand the high heat for a longer period.
  • Once the grill is hot, rub the flank steak with oil and season it with salt and pepper to taste. You can also marinate the flank steak in a good marinade the day before to add extra flavor to the meat.

  • Place the flank steak on the grill over direct heat and cook it for about 6 minutes on each side. Keep an eye on it to prevent it from burning.
    If you're unsure about the cooking, using a meat thermometer can be helpful.
    The internal temperature should reach around 58℃ (136℉) for a perfectly cooked steak.
  • Remove the cooked flank steak from the grill and let it rest uncovered for about 15 minutes before slicing and serving.
  • When slicing the flank steak, remember to cut it into thin slices, and cut it against the grain.
