Instructions
- Step 1: In a bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup olive oil, 4 minced garlic cloves, 2 tbsp chopped fresh rosemary, 2 tbsp lemon juice, 1 1/2 tsp salt, and 1 tsp black pepper. Place 1.5 lbs flank steak in a shallow dish and pour marinade over it, coating well. Cover and refrigerate for 2 to 3 hours.

- Step 5: Serve slices with grilled vegetables or a simple salad for a complete meal.
