I love grilled flank steak because it is super easy to make. The best part is that you don’t need a complicated marinade to add amazing flavor.
This garlic and fresh herb marinade is simple to make and gives the steak an amazing flavor. I planted fresh herbs in the middle of spring and they are really abundant right now, so using them to make this marinade was a quick way to use up all my fresh rosemary, thyme, and oregano. If you are growing basil or parsley, you can throw that in as well!
This grilled flank steak comes out perfectly cooked every single time! It’s one of my kid’s favorite meals to eat in the summer.

Easy Weeknight Meal Option With Minimal Meal Prep
What I love most about it is that I prepare the marinade for the flank steak in the morning in a gallon size bag or a flat food storage container and the flavors work their way into the meat in the refrigerator throughout the day. Then at dinnertime, I heat the grill to high heat and add the steak. While the steak is grilling, I grill a fresh ear of corn (or a few) and make the tomato and avocado salsa. It all comes together in under 20 minutes, which is my kind of meal!
For a smoky variation, you can also char the jalapeno pepper whole while grilling the corn. It brings out just a touch of delicious smoky flavor in the pepper.

How do you make Grilled Flank Steak With Garlic Herb Marinade?
- To start, prepare the marinade for the flank steak. Add olive oil, chopped garlic, fresh chopped herbs, and salt and pepper to a gallon-size food storage bag or flat food storage container. Add the flank steak and marinate for at least an hour or overnight.
- Heat the grill to high heat. Add the steak and grill each side for 3 -4 minutes to get great grill marks. Transfer the steak to indirect heat and cook them until the steak is 140 degrees in the center with a meat thermometer.
- Grill the corn over medium heat, turning regularly until it’s heated through.
- While the steak is grilling, prepare your tomato, avocado and corn salsa.
- Take a sharp knife and cut the kernels off the corn
- Add chopped avocado, grilled corn, red onion, chopped tomato, jalapeno and cilantro, salt and pepper to a small bowl and stir to combine. Squeeze fresh lime juice on top and serve over grilled flank steak.
The best part is that both the marinade and this tomato, avocado, and corn salsa can be used on any steak – so if you have a flat-iron steak, ribeye, T-bone, or sirloin, the marinade and salsa just adds another layer of flavor to the grilled steak.
