In a small bowl, whisk together the Worcestershire sauce, minced garlic, sea salt, black pepper, and smoked paprika. This mixture is where the flavor begins. Coat your flank steak in this marinade, ensuring both sides get full coverage. Allow it to rest for at least 15 minutes to let the flavors meld.

Choose a large skillet for this task. Place it over medium-high heat and add the high-smoke point oil. Wait for it to shimmer before you proceed. A hot pan is essential for that perfect sear.

Once your pan is hot enough, carefully place the flank steak into the skillet. Here’s where the magic happens. Sear it for about 4-5 minutes on one side without moving it. You want a beautiful crust to develop. Flip it carefully to the other side and add the butter. Spoon the melting butter over the steak as it cooks for an additional 3-4 minutes for a medium-rare finish.

Once cooked to your desired doneness, remove the steak from the pan and place it on a cutting board. Allow it to rest for about 5-10 minutes. This is important. Resting helps retain the juices, so every bite is as succulent as possible.

Once rested, it’s time for the final cut. Slice the flank steak against the grain into thin strips. This will ensure tenderness. Serve it alongside your chosen sides and enjoy!
