Prepare a brine by combining warm water, salt, black pepper, coriander, fresh rosemary, garlic, olive oil, and vinegar.

Add meat stock to the warm water before mixing in the other ingredients.

Grind black pepper manually and add it to the brine mixture.

Use four whole garlic cloves in the brine.

Prepare a fire for grilling, ensuring to create hot embers.

Place the flank steak on the grill fat side down for 2 hours.

After 2 hours, turn the steak over so the membrane side is up and cook for another hour.

Check for a golden crust on the fat side before removing from the grill after 3.5 hours of total cooking time.

Let the steak rest for 15-20 minutes after grilling to allow juices to redistribute.

Slice the steak on a cutting board with a lip to catch juices, using a main knife and an auxiliary knife for cutting.

Serve the sliced steak on a serving board.
