Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 to 1 1/2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
  • Juice of 1/2 lemon
  • Pinch hot pepper flakes or several drops store-bought or hot red pepper sauce (such as Tabasco)
  • 1/2 teaspoon crushed dried thyme
  • 2 to 3 tablespoons minced scallions, shallots, or garlic
  • One 1 1/2 to 2 lbs flank steak

Instruction

  • In a resealable plastic bag or a glass baking dish, combine the oil, soy sauce, lemon juice, pepper flakes or hot sauce, thyme, and scallions, shallots, or garlic. Add the steak, seal the bag or cover the baking dish, and marinate for 20 to 60 minutes at room temperature or up to a day in the fridge.
  • Preheat the grill or broiler.
  • Transfer the steak to the grill rack or broiler pan, leaving any excess marinade behind. (You can pat the steak dry if you wish.) Grill or broil the steak, turning once, until medium-rare or the desired degree of doneness. Let it rest for 10 or so minutes.
  • Carve the steak in thin, angled slices cut across the grain. Serve immediately.
