This Grilled Flank Steak is marinated with garlic, shallot and rosemary. This a very quick and easy rub that comes together really fast! A mini-chopper or blender, makes fast work of preparing the marinade for as little as an hour-- or up to 24 hours in advance. This recipe is perfect for a gas or charcoal grill. The steak is so flavorful! (Just remember to slice the steak against the grain and very thin.)

Ingredients

  • 6 tablespoons olive oil
  • 6 medium cloves garlic minced or pressed through a garlic press (about 2 tablespoons)
  • 1 medium shallot minced (about 3 tablespoons)
  • 2 tablespoons minced fresh rosemary
  • For Steak:
  • 1 flank steak about 2 pounds, patted dry with paper towels
  • 2 teaspoons kosher salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper

Instructions

  • Puree all marinade ingredients in blender until smooth, scraping down blender jar as needed.
  • Place steak on rimmed baking sheet or in large baking dish. Using dinner fork, prick steak about 20 times on each side. Rub both sides of steak evenly with salt and then with paste. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate at least 1 hour or up to 24 hours.

For a gas grill:

  • Heat grate for 5 minutes; scrape grate clean with grill brush.
  • NOTE: I used a gas grill, which worked fine.

For a charcoal grill:

  • Using large chimney starter, ignite about 6 quarts (1 large chimney, or 2 1/2 pounds) charcoal briquettes and burn until covered with thin coating of light gray ash, about 20 minutes.
    Empty coals into grill; build two-level fire by arranging coals to cover one half of grill. Position grill grate over coals, cover grill, and heat grate for 5 minutes; scrape grate clean with grill brush. Grill is ready when coals are hot (you can hold your hand 5 inches above grate for just 2 seconds).

Grill the steak:

  • Using paper towels, wipe paste off steak; season both sides with pepper.
    Grill steak directly over coals until well browned, 4 to 6 minutes.
    Using tongs, flip steak; grill until second side is well browned, 3 to 4 minutes.
