Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Place the flank steak in a baking pan.
Season the steak with salt and pepper.
Pour the bottle of catsup over the steak.
Add a little water to the pan.
Bake for 30 to 45 minutes.

What each ingredient does

Flank steak: Forms the main protein of the dish, becoming tender as it bakes in the sauce.
Catsup: Adds sweetness and acidity, and its sugars help the surface brown as it bakes.
