Marinated Flank Steak  

If you love steak, try this mouthwatering marinade made with rosemary, marjoram, and oregano. It's delicious and simple — you’ll never go back to your old steak sauce!

Ingredients

 

1 1/2-pound to 2-pound beef flank steak
1/4 cup fresh rosemary, chopped, or 1 tablespoon dried rosemary, crushed
1 tablespoon fresh marjoram, chopped, or 1 teaspoon dried marjoram, crushed
1 tablespoon fresh oregano, chopped, or 1 teaspoon dried oregano, crushed
3 cloves garlic, minced (1 1/2 teaspoons)
1 1/2 teaspoons paprika
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon crushed red pepper
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

 
1. Trim fat from meat. Score both sides of steak in a diamond pattern by making shallow cuts at 1-inch intervals; set aside. In a small bowl, mix together rosemary, marjoram, oregano, garlic, paprika, kosher salt, crushed red pepper, and black pepper. Stir in the oil until combined.
 
2. Spoon herb mixture evenly over both sides of steak; rub in with your fingers. Place steak in a shallow dish. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for 1 to 24 hours.
 
3. For a charcoal grill, place meat on the rack of an uncovered grill directly over medium coals. Grill for 17 to 21 minutes or until medium doneness (160 degrees F), turning once halfway through grilling. (For a gas grill, preheat grill. Reduce heat to medium. Place meat on grill rack over heat. Cover and grill as above.)
 
4. Transfer grilled meat to a cutting board. Cover and let stand for 10 minutes. To serve, slice very thinly across the grain.
