This delicious recipe combines the bold flavors of garlic and fennel with the zesty freshness of oranges to create a mouthwatering dish that is perfect for any occasion. The marinade tenderizes the flank steak while infusing it with a savory, aromatic blend of spices.

Ingredients

  • 1 ½ pounds flank steak
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fennel seeds, crushed
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 oranges, sliced
  • Fresh parsley for garnish

Directions

  1. In a small bowl, combine the minced garlic, crushed fennel seeds, salt, and pepper to create a rub.
  2. Rub the spice mixture all over the flank steak, covering both sides evenly. Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes, or overnight for maximum flavor.
  3. Heat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Brush the steak with olive oil and grill for 6-7 minutes per side, or until desired doneness.
  4. Remove the steak from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing it thinly against the grain.
  5. Arrange the orange slices on a platter and place the sliced steak on top. Drizzle with any remaining juices from the grill and garnish with fresh parsley.
  6. Serve the garlic fennel flank steak with oranges hot and enjoy!
