Instructions
Combine all marinade ingredients in a bowl and whisk to combine. Pour marinade either into a container big enough for meat or a gallon-size zip-top bag. Add the meat, making sure it is covered by the marinade. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, ideally overnight.
After marinating, remove steak and save the marinade.
Grill the steak on each side 3-5 minutes, basting a few times throughout cooking with the reserved marinade.
Use a thermometer to check the doneness of the steak if desired. (Medium Rare: 130-135°F; Medium: 135-145°F; Well: 45-155°F)
Once your steak is cooked to your preferred doneness, remove from the grill and let it rest for about 5 minutes. Thinly slice the flank steak against the grain.
Served with warmed tortillas and your favorite taco toppings.
