Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons plain yogurt (whole or low-fat)
- 1 tablespoon fresh oregano washed and dried, finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, washed and dried, finely chopped
- 2 teaspoons dried thyme
- 2 teaspoons fresh garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- ¼ cup olive oil
- 1 (about 1 ½ pound) flank steak
- salt and freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
- Make the marinade. In a small mixing bowl, combine all of the ingredients except the steak, salt and pepper. Set it aside.
- Add the mariande to the steak. Cut any excess fat off of the steak (there shouldn't be much), and place it on a large flat plate. Add half of the marinade to one side and half to the other -- making sure the entire piece of meat is well coated. This marinade is thick and looks a bit like a rub. Place the coated steak in a large zip-lock bag -- remove all of the air and seal it, and place it in the refrigerator to marinate for at least 6 hours, and ideally overnight.
- Grill. About 20 minutes before you're ready to grill, remove the steak from the refrigerator. With a high flame, heat a stove-top or outdoor grill and sprinkle the steak on both sides pretty generously with salt and pepper. Place the steak on the grill once it's very hot. If you don't hear a strong sizzling sound when the meat hits the grill, wait! If you don't, the steak won't brown properly, to form a beautiful "crust." So....when your steak sizzles, cook it on each side for about 5 minutes (for medium-rare), or until the desired doneness. Once you've flipped to the second side, turn the heat to medium-low.
- Rest, slice and serve. Place the steak on a platter, cover with foil, and let it rest for at least 10 minutes to allow the juices to settle. Then, slice the steak thinly against the grain and serve!
