Ingredients

• 1 1/2 pounds flank steak
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• Juice of 2 lemons
• Zest of 1 lemon
• 1/4 cup olive oil
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 cup beef broth
• 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch
• 2 tablespoons water
• Chopped fresh parsley, for garnish

Directions

1. In a small bowl, whisk together the minced garlic, lemon juice, lemon zest, olive oil, salt, and black pepper.
2. Place the flank steak in a large resealable plastic bag and pour the marinade over the steak. Seal the bag and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, or overnight for the best flavor.
3. Preheat the oven to 325°F (163°C).
4. Heat a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Remove the flank steak from the marinade, allowing any excess marinade to drip off. Reserve the marinade for later.
5. Sear the flank steak in the hot skillet for 2-3 minutes on each side, until browned.
6. Pour the reserved marinade, beef broth, and Worcestershire sauce into the skillet. Bring the liquid to a simmer.
7. Cover the skillet with a lid or foil and transfer it to the preheated oven. Braise the flank steak for 2-2.5 hours, or until the meat is tender and easily shreds with a fork.
8. In a small bowl, whisk together the cornstarch and water until smooth. Remove the skillet from the oven and transfer the flank steak to a serving platter.
9. Place the skillet with the cooking liquid back on the stovetop over medium heat. Slowly whisk in the cornstarch mixture and bring the liquid to a boil. Cook for 1-2 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened.
10. Slice the flank steak against the grain and serve it drizzled with the thickened sauce. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley.
11. Enjoy your delicious braised flank steak with lemon and garlic!
