Ingredients
- 1 lb beef flank steak
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 3 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1/2 tsp salt

Instructions
- Prepare the Marinade: In a mixing bowl, combine olive oil, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, black pepper, salt, lemon juice, brown sugar, and red pepper flakes.
- Marinate the Steak: Place the flank steak in a shallow dish or a resealable bag and pour the marinade over it. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour (or overnight for best results).
- Preheat the Grill/Pan: Heat a grill or cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat.
- Cook the Steak: Remove the steak from the marinade and let any excess drip off. Cook for about 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare, adjusting for your preferred doneness.
- Rest the Steak: Transfer the steak to a cutting board and let it rest for 5 minutes to retain juices.
- Slice and Serve: Slice against the grain into thin strips and serve immediately.
Notes
- For extra tenderness, slice the steak thinly against the grain.
- Serve with grilled vegetables or mashed potatoes for a complete meal.
- Adjust spice levels according to preference.
