This Traeger Flank Steak is juicy, smoky, and packed with flavor. Smoking the steak low and slow allows it to absorb that deep wood-fired aroma, then a quick sear locks in the juices. Perfect for slicing thin and serving on tacos, salads, or as a main dish!

Ingredients

Scale

For the Steak:

  • 1 (2 lb) flank steak
  • 2 tsp kosher salt
  • 1 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1 tbsp olive oil

For the Marinade (Optional, for extra flavor):

  • ¼ cup soy sauce
  • 2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tbsp balsamic vinegar
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp honey or brown sugar
  • ½ tsp red pepper flakes (optional for heat)

Instructions

1. Marinate the Steak (Optional, but Recommended):

  • In a bowl, whisk together the marinade ingredients.
  • Place the flank steak in a zip-top bag or shallow dish and pour the marinade over it.
  • Let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or up to 12 hours for deeper flavor.

2. Preheat the Traeger Grill:

  • Set the Traeger to 225°F and load it with hickory, oak, or mesquite pellets for the best flavor.
  • Allow the grill to preheat for 15 minutes with the lid closed.

3. Smoke the Flank Steak:

  • Remove the steak from the marinade and pat it dry.
  • Season both sides with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and smoked paprika.
  • Place the steak directly on the grill grates and smoke for 45-60 minutes, or until it reaches an internal temperature of 120°F for medium-rare.

4. Sear for a Perfect Crust:

  • Increase the Traeger temperature to 450°F (or use a cast-iron skillet over high heat).
  • Sear the steak for 1-2 minutes per side until it develops a caramelized crust.
  • Remove from heat when it reaches 130-135°F for medium-rare or 140-145°F for medium.

5. Rest, Slice & Serve:

  • Let the steak rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
  • Slice against the grain into thin strips for maximum tenderness.

Serving Ideas:

  • Serve with chimichurri sauce for a fresh, herby kick.
  • Use in tacos, burritos, or sandwiches.
  • Pair with grilled veggies or a fresh salad.

 

Notes

  • Want it spicier? Add a pinch of cayenne or extra red pepper flakes to the seasoning.
  • Don’t overcook it! Flank steak is best at medium-rare to medium—any more and it can become tough.
