Grilled Flank Steak

Grilled flank steak is happening at least once a week at our house.  The boys in our house are steak obsessed and it is usually the choice of meat for them.  I love grilled flank steak because it is SO easy!  And the best part is that you don’t need a complicated marinade to add amazing flavor.  This marinade is simple to make with fresh herbs and garlic which infuses the steak with amazing flavor. This grilled flank steak comes out perfectly every single time!

How do you make Grilled Garlic Herb Flank Steak?

• To start, make the marinade for the flank steak.  Add olive oil, chopped garlic, fresh chopped herbs, and salt and pepper to a large plastic bag.  Add the flank steak and marinate for at least an hour or overnight.
• Heat your grill to high heat.  Add the steak and grill each side for a couple of minutes to get nice char marks.  Move them to indirect heat and cook the steak until desired doneness.  We like medium.
• While the steak is cooking on the grill prepare your avocado corn salsa.  Add chopped avocado, corn, red onion, chopped tomato, and cilantro to a small bowl and stir to combine.  Squeeze a fresh lime on top and serve over grilled flank steak.

Important tips for grilling flank steak:

• Let the steak marinate for at least an hour or overnight before grilling.
• Grill steak on high heat for 1-2 minutes to sear on each side and move to indirect heat.
• Remove steak from the grill and rest on a cutting board for 10 minutes covered in aluminum foil
