Ingredients
- 2 pounds flank steak, sliced into 1/4 inch slices across the grain (you can also use sirloin or ribeye)
- 4 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 tablespoons lemon juice, freshly squeezed
- 8 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
- parsley, finely chopped for garnish
Instructions
- Begin by slicing the beef into long thin slices, approximately ¼ inch thick. Be sure to cut across the grain which will result in a more tender piece of meat. Transfer the prepared beef to a bowl.
- Whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, salt, and ground black pepper to form a marinade.
- Pour the marinade over the beef and massage it into the beef until all of the pieces are well coated. Cover the bowl with a tight-fitting lid or plastic wrap and refrigerate it for a minimum of 1 hour. Don’t allow the beef to marinate for more than 4 hours. Beef does not do well if left too long in a very acidic marinade.
- When ready to cook, preheat your grill to 400 degrees F.
- Skewer the beef in long strips and discard any leftover marinade.
- Grill the beef for 2 minutes per side or until it reaches your desired level of doneness. Aim for a minimum temperature of 145 degrees F.
- Transfer the grilled beef to a serving platter and garnish with chopped parsley. Serve with extra lemon wedges.
