Marinated Flank Steak with Zesty Tomato Salsa

In a medium bowl, combine grape tomatoes, cilantro, extra-virgin olive oil, jalapeño pepper, finely chopped garlic, 1/4 teaspoon of salt, and fresh lime juice to create the zesty tomato salsa. Set aside to allow flavors to meld.

In a separate shallow dish, mix 1/4 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon ground pepper, and 1 teaspoon of olive oil. Coat the flank steak in the seasoning mixture and let it marinate for at least 30 minutes in the refrigerator. Bring it to room temperature for 15 minutes before grilling.

Preheat grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.

Grill marinated steak until an instant-read thermometer inserted in the center reads 125 degrees F for medium-rare or cook it to your desired level of doneness, 3 to 5 minutes per side.

Transfer the steak to a clean cutting board, preferably one with grooves for collecting juices, and thinly slice across the grain.

Divide the slices among 4 plates.

Drizzle any juices that have accumulated on the cutting board over the steak and top with the zesty tomato salsa. Serve immediately and enjoy!
