Prepare the Steak: Pat the flank steak dry with paper towels. Season generously with salt and pepper.

Grill the Steak: Preheat grill to medium-high heat. Grill the flank steak for 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare, or longer depending on desired doneness.

Rest the Steak: Remove the steak from the grill and let it rest for 10 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in a more tender steak.
