Pour into a bowl and season with salt and pepper.

Season the flank steak with salt and pepper.

Place on the grill and cook 5 minute per side and only turn one.

Remove the steak from the grill and let rest for 5 minutes before cutting (this is a good time to grill your veggies).

Thinly slice the steak against the grain and serve with the veggies and salsa verde! Here is the plating.
