Instructions
- In a medium bowl, combine pomegranate juice, honey, balsamic vinegar, minced garlic, ground cumin, and smoked paprika. Whisk until well blended.
- Place the flank steak in a large resealable plastic bag or shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the steak, ensuring it is fully coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, preferably overnight for maximum flavor.
- Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.
- Remove the steak from the marinade and let any excess marinade drip off. Season both sides with salt and black pepper.
- Place the flank steak on the preheated grill. Grill for about 6-8 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or until the desired doneness is reached. Use a meat thermometer to check for an internal temperature of 130°F for medium-rare.
- Once cooked, remove the steak from the grill and let it rest for 5-10 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute.
- While the steak is resting, toast the pine nuts in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 3-5 minutes, stirring frequently until golden brown. Remove from heat and set aside.
- After resting, slice the flank steak against the grain into thin strips.
- Arrange the sliced steak on a platter. Drizzle with any remaining marinade, then sprinkle toasted pine nuts and fresh herbs (parsley, mint, and cilantro) over the top.
- Serve warm with your choice of sides, such as roasted vegetables or a fresh salad.
Notes
For a variation, try adding different herbs or a splash of citrus juice for extra brightness.
