Notes
Cook the steak by grilling, broiling, roasting, or pan-frying.
Flank steak cooks quickly; do not cook beyond medium doneness or it will end up tough.
Flank steak that is about ½" thick will come out at medium doneness in the stated temperature and time. If your steak is thicker, then it will be more of a medium-rare in the same amount of cooking time. Adjust the cooking time as necessary to suit your desired doneness of the meat.
Use an instant-read thermometer to determine the doneness. For medium-rare, thermometer should read about 125-130 deg F (51-54C). Medium is about 130-135 deg F (54-57C).
Slicing the meet across the grain at an angle (about 45 degrees) and thinly makes the slices of steak easier to bite and chew.
Serve with a side of mustard and sea salt for dipping, if desired.
This steak goes great with a Caesar salad or in a wrap.
