1 (1 1/2-pound) flank steak, trimmed of excess fat
1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil
3 tablespoons lemon juice
2 teaspoons lemon zest
1 teaspoon minced fresh rosemary
1/8 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1 pinch salt
1 sprig fresh rosemary
Steps
Combine 1/2 cup chopped fresh rosemary, garlic, 1/3 cup olive oil, 1/4 cup lemon juice,
black pepper, 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes, and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a blender or food
processor. Blend until smooth and set marinade aside.
Pierce the steak with a fork 20 to 30 times. Place in a shallow baking dish. Pour marinade
over steak and flip to coat both sides. Cover and refrigerate for 4 to 8 hours.
Combine 1/3 cup olive oil, 3 tablespoons lemon juice, lemon zest, 1 teaspoon minced rosemary,
1/8 teaspoon red pepper flakes, and a pinch of salt in a jar. Cover and shake the dressing
to combine. Shake again before using.
Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate.
Remove steak from marinade; scrape off any chunks of marinade. Discard used marinade. Season
steak with salt and black pepper.
Place steak on the preheated grill and cook until browned on the outside and red on the inside,
about 6 to 8 minutes per side. Place 2 tablespoons of the olive oil-lemon juice dressing in a
small bowl. Use rosemary sprig to baste the steak while it cooks. An instant-read thermometer
inserted into the center of a steak should read 125 degrees F (52 degrees C) for rare.
Remove steak to a platter and allow to rest about 6 minutes before slicing. Cut in half
lengthwise, then into 1/4-inch-thick slices at an angle against the grain. Drizzle with
additional dressing.
