Bavette Steak is a juicy cut that broils perfectly medium rare in just a few minutes. Before broiling the steak, we stuff it with garlic for aromatic flavor. This simple steak recipe takes under 20 minutes to make and goes well with so many sides!
Set oven to broil - Place the oven rack about 6 inches from the top of the oven (typically the first tier of the stove) and set to broil on high.
Make incisions in steak for garlic - Use the tip of the knife to make about 20 small incisions in flank steak. Stuff a sliver of garlic into each incision.
1 lb flank steak, 2-3 cloves garlic
Season steak - Place the steak on a foil-lined baking sheet. Season with salt and ground pepper and drizzle with olive oil.
Broil steak - Place in the oven and broil on high for 7-8 minutes for medium rare (130°F to 140°F).
Slice and serve - Remove the steak from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes. Slice and serve.
Notes
Top Tips
Let the meat temper on the kitchen counter for about 15 minutes before you cook it. This ensures the steak will stay tender and juicy when cooked. If it is too cold, the steak will dry out.
Be sure to let the meat rest for 5 to 10 minutes before slicing to ensure the juices are reabsorbed into the meat.
Drizzle any leftover juice in the pan onto the meat when you serve it.
Storage
Store this flank steak in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. In order to reheat the steak, let the steak rest for 15 minutes to reach room temperature, then heat the oven to 300°F and reheat for 5-10 minutes.
