# Steps to Cook:
01 -
In a shallow dish, combine soy sauce, olive oil, Worcestershire sauce, and minced garlic. Mix well.
02 -
Place the flank steak in the marinade, ensuring it is fully coated. Cover and refrigerate for a minimum of 2 hours and up to 12 hours.

Preheat the grill or grill pan to high heat. Grill flank steak for 6 to 8 minutes per side for medium-rare or to your preferred doneness.
04 -
Transfer steak to a cutting board and allow it to rest for 5 to 10 minutes. Cut against the grain into bite-sized cubes.
05 -
Chop romaine lettuce, red bell pepper, cucumber, and halve cherry tomatoes. Slice pickled red onion.
06 -
In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, honey, minced garlic, salt, pepper, and fresh parsley until emulsified.
07 -
On a large platter, arrange romaine lettuce as the base. Distribute steak cubes in the centre. Arrange bell pepper, cucumber, cherry tomatoes, pickled onion, and crumbled feta around the steak. Drizzle with dressing before serving.
# Extra Suggestions:
01 -
Marinate the steak for at least 2 hours but not more than 12 hours to optimize tenderness without becoming mushy.
02 -
For the best texture, combine salad components just before serving.
03 -
Steak can be cooked on a grill pan indoors if outdoor grilling is not available.
