Directions
Keep an eye on the flank steak while grilling and do not let the heat go past medium high. The BBQ sauce should caramelize the outside of the steak and make a sweet, smoky crust without burning. The steak can also be seared in a regular cast-iron pan over medium to medium-high heat and the cooking time will be about the same.
