The Best Way to Cook Flank Steak. You can grill flank steak, cook it in a skillet on the stovetop, or even cut it up for a stir-fry, but my choice for everyday cooking is under the broiler. The broiler is basically an upside-down grill that blasts the steak with direct heat.arinate for 1 hour or up to 24 hours: Cover the dish and place the steak in the fridge for at least 1 hour or up to 24 hours. Flip the steak occasionally if you happen to think about it. Heat the broiler and prepare the pan: Set your broiler to its highest setting (or simply turn it on if it doesn't have settings).
