Step 1

Rub the flank steak on both sides with oil and season with salt and pepper. Let the steak rest on the counter at room temperature for 10 minutes.

Step 2

Heat skillet or griddle on medium heat. Hover your hand over the skillet or grill a couple of inches to ensure that it is nice and hot.

Step 3

Slowly lay the flank steak on skillet or griddle. Let it cook for about 3-4 minutes. Flip the flank steak and cook for another 3-4 minutes or until it reaches your preferred doneness (125F for rare - 130F for medium rare - 135F for medium).

Step 4

Take the flank steak off the skillet and let rest for 5 minutes before slicing. Carve the steak into thin slices against the grain.

Step 5

Serve.
