Place the flank steak in a shallow dish or a large resealable plastic bag. Pour the marinade over the steak, ensuring it's fully coated. Cover the dish or seal the bag and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or up to 4 hours, to allow the flavors to penetrate the meat. For best results, marinate for 2-3 hours.

Transfer the skillet with the steak to the preheated oven. Roast for 8-12 minutes for medium-rare (internal temperature of 130-135°F), or longer for desired doneness. Use a meat thermometer to check for accuracy.

Once cooked to your liking, remove the skillet from the oven. Transfer the steak to a cutting board and tent loosely with foil. Let it rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing. Resting allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in a more tender and flavorful steak.
