Mediterranean Flank Steak with Tzatziki

Veg out, carnivores—this isn’t your average steak night! Get ready to transport your taste buds straight to the sun-drenched coasts of the Mediterranean with a dish that’s as vibrant as a Greek sunset and twice as delicious.
Ingredients
– 1.5 lbs flank steak
– 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
– 3 cloves garlic, minced
– 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
– 1 tsp dried oregano
– 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
– 1/2 tsp coarse sea salt
– 1/4 tsp freshly cracked black pepper
– 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
– 1/2 English cucumber, grated and squeezed dry
– 1 tbsp fresh dill, finely chopped
– 1 tsp lemon zest
Instructions
1. In a medium bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil, 3 cloves minced garlic, 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice, 1 tsp dried oregano, 1/2 tsp smoked paprika, 1/2 tsp coarse sea salt, and 1/4 tsp freshly cracked black pepper to create the marinade.
2. Place 1.5 lbs flank steak in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over it, ensuring both sides are thoroughly coated.
3. Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or up to 8 hours for maximum flavor infusion—marinating longer tenderizes the steak beautifully.
4. Preheat your grill or grill pan to high heat, aiming for 450°F, and lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.
5. Remove the steak from the marinade, letting excess drip off, and discard the used marinade.
6. Grill the steak for 5-6 minutes per side for medium-rare, or until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part reads 135°F.
7. Transfer the grilled steak to a cutting board and let it rest for 10 minutes—this allows the juices to redistribute, keeping it succulent.
8. While the steak rests, prepare the tzatziki by combining 1 cup plain Greek yogurt, 1/2 grated and squeezed-dry English cucumber, 1 tbsp finely chopped fresh dill, and 1 tsp lemon zest in a bowl; mix well.
9. Thinly slice the rested steak against the grain into 1/4-inch strips to ensure tenderness.
10. Serve the sliced steak with a generous dollop of tzatziki on top or alongside.
A perfectly grilled flank steak boasts a smoky, herbaceous crust giving way to a juicy, pink interior, while the cool, creamy tzatziki with its bright dill and lemon notes cuts through the richness. Try stacking slices on warm pita bread with a sprinkle of crumbled feta for an instant gyro-inspired feast that’ll have everyone begging for seconds!
