1

Zest a couple of lemons.

In a blender, combine fresh rosemary leaves, garlic, black pepper, red pepper flakes, lemon juice, olive oil, and salt.

3

Process the marinade in the blender until completely smooth and set aside.

Puncture the flank steak with a fork between 28 and 32 times to help the marinade absorb.

Pour the marinade over the steak and spread it with a fork, flipping to coat both sides.

6

Wrap the marinated steak in plastic and refrigerate for 4 to 8 hours.

7

Make a lemon dressing by combining lemon zest, minced rosemary, red pepper flakes, lemon juice, olive oil, and salt in a mason jar and shake vigorously for one minute.

After marinating, scrape off excess marinade from the steak and season with salt and pepper.

9

Preheat a charcoal grill and grill the steak for about 6 minutes on each side.

10

Brush the steak with some of the lemon dressing while it grills to keep it moist.

Let the steak rest for at least 6-7 minutes before slicing.

13

Cut the steak in half lengthwise, then slice against the grain into thin strips.
