Instructions
- Step 1: In a bowl, combine 1/4 cup olive oil, 2 tbsp chopped fresh rosemary, 2 tbsp chopped fresh thyme, 4 minced garlic cloves, 1 tsp salt, and 1 tsp black pepper to create the marinade. Place 1.5 pounds flank steak in a resealable bag and pour marinade over it. Seal and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight.
- Step 2: Preheat grill to medium-high heat (around 450°F). Remove steak from marinade and let excess drip off.
- Step 3: Grill the flank steak for 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare, or until desired doneness. Remove from grill and let rest for 10 minutes on a cutting board.
- Step 4: While steak rests, char 6 whole scallions on the grill for about 3 minutes, turning occasionally until blackened and softened.
- Step 5: Chop the charred scallions finely and mix with 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice and 1/4 tsp red chili flakes in a small bowl.
- Step 6: Slice the rested steak thinly against the grain and spoon the charred scallion salsa on top before serving.
