Ingredients

Scale

  • 1 ½ pounds flank steak

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

  • 3 cloves garlic, minced

  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce

  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce

  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika

  • 1 teaspoon black pepper

  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt

  • ½ teaspoon cumin

  • Wood chips (hickory or oak) for smoking

  • Chimichurri sauce for serving (optional)

Instructions

  • Prepare the Marinade:
    In a small bowl, mix olive oil, garlic, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, smoked paprika, black pepper, salt, and cumin. Stir until combined.

  • Marinate the Flank Steak:
    Rub the marinade evenly over the steak. Place it in a sealed bag or covered dish and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, preferably overnight for deeper flavor.

  • Prepare Your Smoker:
    Preheat your smoker to 225°F (107°C). Add your preferred wood chips for a deep smoky flavor.

  • Smoke the Steak:
    Place the flank steak directly on the smoker rack. Smoke until the internal temperature reaches 130°F for medium-rare (about 90 minutes).

  • Reverse Sear (Optional but Recommended):
    Preheat a grill or cast-iron skillet to high heat. Sear the steak for 1–2 minutes per side to develop a nice crust.

  • Rest and Slice:
    Let the steak rest for 5–10 minutes. Then slice it thinly against the grain for maximum tenderness.

  • Serve and Enjoy:
    Drizzle with chimichurri sauce or your favorite topping. Pair with roasted veggies or a crisp salad for a full meal!

Notes

Flank steak is best enjoyed medium-rare. Overcooking can make it tough.
