Method
 

Making the Marinade
  1. Combine the olive oil, chopped rosemary, roughly chopped garlic, kosher salt, and freshly ground black pepper in a blender. Blitz until smooth.
Preparing the Flank Steak
  1. Place flank steak in a medium-sized baking dish and poke the meat about ten times on each side with a fork.
  2. Pour the marinade over the flank steak and turn to coat evenly. Cover with saran wrap and refrigerate for at least one hour, preferably overnight.
Grilling the Steak
  1. Preheat a greased grill to high. Place the marinated flank steak on the grates and grill covered for about 5 minutes.
  2. Turn the steak and grill covered for another 3 to 4 minutes.
Resting and Slicing
  1. Let the meat rest on a cutting board, covered with aluminum foil, for about 15 minutes.
  2. Slice the flank steak very thinly against the grain.

Notes

For maximum flavor, marinate the steak overnight. Consider using other herbs like thyme or oregano for a twist.
