In a shallow nonreactive dish whisk together olive oil, soy sauce, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, honey, Dijon mustard, dry Italian seasoning, seasoned salt, black pepper and onion powder and seasoned salt until fully combined.
To the dish add the flank steak, turning to coat. Cover with plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour or overnight.
Stovetop: In a large cast iron skillet heat a couple of drizzles of olive oil over medium-high heat. (If grilling, oil grates and preheat grill to medium-high.)
Remove flank steak from marinade allowing excess to drip off. Once you see a faint smoke coming from the oil in the pan, add the flank steak.
Sear for 2-5 minutes per side or to your desired doneness adjusting for thickness. Don't move around, flip it only once to get a good char.
Remove steak from pan to a cutting board and let stand 5-10 minutes. Use a sharp knife to slice thinly across the grain and serve.
Depending on Thickness and Method of Cooking i.e. Grill or Pan Searing: Medium-Rare 1-2 minutes per side, Medium 2-3 minutes per side, Medium-Well 3-5 minutes per side, Well Done Not recommended. Adjust time depending on the thickness of the steak.

Steak - You can use this marinade for any cut of beef that you enjoy. Sirloin steak, ribeye, filet and New York strip steak.
Pan - Use a hot skillet (or grill) to get a good sear and char on the steak. The marinade and cooking times are basically the same for grilled steak.
Fresh Herbs - You can add fresh rosemary, parsley or cilantro to the marinade.
Spice - You can add crushed red pepper flakes to the marinade mixture for a little heat.
Let the Steak Rest - Stand time is important - this keeps it juicy. Slice against the grain for tender bites
Serving Ideas - Pair with crusty bread and top with cheese and peppers for a cheesesteak, add to salad for a light dinner or lunch or turn it into a wrap with a soft tortilla. Making flank steak is also great for meal prep.
