Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 pounds Flank steak
- 0.25 cups Balsamic vinegar
- 0.25 cups Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 3 pieces Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon Fresh rosemary, minced
- 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme, minced
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
Instructions
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together balsamic vinegar, olive oil, soy sauce, honey, minced garlic, rosemary, thyme, black pepper, and salt until well combined.
Place the flank steak in a resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the steak, ensuring it is fully coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish with plastic wrap.
Marinate the steak in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or up to overnight for maximum flavor.
When ready to cook, remove the steak from the refrigerator and let it sit at room temperature for 20-30 minutes.
Heat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.
Remove the flank steak from the marinade, allowing excess marinade to drip off, and place it directly on the hot grill. Discard the remaining marinade.
Cook the steak for about 5-6 minutes per side for medium-rare, or adjust cooking time as desired for your preferred doneness.
Once cooked, remove the steak from the grill and let it rest on a cutting board for 5-10 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.
Slice the steak thinly against the grain and serve immediately. Pair with a side of roasted vegetables or a fresh salad for a complete meal.
