Instructions

1. Step 1: Combine 1 tbsp chopped rosemary, 1 tbsp chopped thyme, 4 minced garlic cloves, 2 tbsp olive oil, 1.5 tsp kosher salt, and 1 tsp freshly ground black pepper in a small bowl to make a herb rub.
2. Step 2: Pat dry 1.5 lbs beef flank steak and rub the herb mixture evenly over both sides. Let the steak sit at room temperature for 30 minutes to absorb flavors.
3. Step 3: Prepare a charcoal grill and ignite coals until glowing with a thin layer of ash, creating direct high heat around 450°F.
4. Step 4: Place the steak over direct heat and grill for 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare doneness, turning once carefully.
5. Step 5: Remove steak from grill and tent loosely with foil. Rest for 10 minutes before slicing thinly against the grain to ensure tenderness.
