Simple flank steak baked in the oven with herb butter

Ingredients:

• 1/4 tbsp. + 2 tbsp. l. olive oil
• 1/4 cup chopped parsley
• 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
• 1 clove garlic, minced
• A pinch of red pepper flakes
• 1 piece of flank steak weighing 0.7-1 kg.

Preparation:

1. Position the oven rack 12-15 cm from the heating element and preheat the oven to broil. Line a baking pan or sheet pan with foil and insert the insert, if using. Place the pan on the oven rack and preheat for 5 minutes.
2. Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine 1/4 cup olive oil, parsley, vinegar, garlic, red pepper flakes, 0.5 teaspoon salt, and a pinch of ground black pepper. Cover the oil and herbs and set aside until ready to serve.
3. In a small bowl, combine the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil, 2 teaspoons salt, and 1 teaspoon black pepper. Rub the mixture into the steak on all sides.
4. Carefully remove the pan from the oven, place the steak in the center, and grill (without turning) until the meat is browned and firm to the touch in the thickest part, 6-8 minutes for medium-rare. Let the meat rest for 10 minutes. Slice thinly across the grain and serve with herbed butter.
