- Grill the steak. Carefully remove the steak from the marinade, shaking off any excess pieces of onion, herbs, or garlic. Place it directly on the grill and cook with the lid up, flipping every 2-3 minutes until a dark crust is developed on the outside and the internal temperature of the steak reads 130 degrees F.
- Slice and serve. Remove the steak to a cutting board and slice into thin pieces, against the grain.
