Prepare the marinade by mixing 1/4 cup of olive oil, 1 cup of water, and 2 cups of beef broth in a bowl.

Add 2 tablespoons of soy sauce to the marinade.

Squeeze the juice of 1 orange into the marinade.

Add 1 tablespoon of fine ground black pepper and 3 tablespoons of WOW seasoning to the marinade.

Taste the marinade to check the salt level.

Cut the flank steak into strips about 1.5 to 2 inches long and 1 inch thick, trimming off excess fat.

Place the steak strips into the marinade, ensuring they are covered as much as possible.

Cover the marinade and refrigerate for 6 to 10 hours, ideally overnight.

Heat the Maen griddle over high heat.

Remove the steak from the marinade and place it on the hot griddle, cooking until charred, flipping as needed.

Add sliced onions and tomatoes to the griddle, cooking until they are charred and tender.

Once the steak is cooked, check for clear juices to ensure it's done, then remove it from the griddle.
