A tree limb fell through the Weber kettle and we decided not to replace it. We haven't missed it at all. A hot oven and a cast iron grill pan are much easier for just the two of us. We like flank steak. We cut it into meal-sized pieces and cook it quickly. You don't even need to marinate it.

How To Make no grill flank steak

  • 1
    Optionally, marinate the steak for the amount of time appropriate for the marinade being used. Marinating is NOT necessary but a choice.
  • 2
    About 25 minutes before you intend to cook the steak, place the cast iron grill pan in the oven and pre-heat the oven to 450 F
  • 3
    At this time, also take the steak out of the refrigerator and allow to come to room temperature.
  • 4
    If you marinated the steak, dry it thoroughly with paper towels. If the steak is wet when it hits the pan it will stew rather than grill.
  • 5
    Rub the steak on both sides with the olive oil.
  • 6
    Season to taste. Simply using salt and pepper makes a tasty steak that tastes of pure BEEF. Any dried herb or spice mix may be used.
  • 7
    Place the steak on the pre-heated grill pan and bake for 5 minutes.
  • 8
    Flip the steak and bake an additional 5 minutes. This results in a medium rare steak by the time it is done resting.
  • 9
    Remove from the pan, losely cover with foil, and allow to rest for 10 minutes.
  • 10
    Slice very thinly perpendicular to the grain. Flank steak will be tough cut any other way, including at an angle as recommended in so many recipes.
  • 11
    If you have leftovers, slice and reheat briefly in a buttered skillet to make a truly sinful steak sandwich.
