Experience bold, savory flavors with this Balsamic Marinated Flank Steak recipe, a perfect choice for grilling season or an impressive dinner centerpiece. This dish features a tender 1.5-pound flank steak infused with a rich marinade of tangy balsamic vinegar, smooth olive oil, and a touch of honey for natural sweetness. Aromatic herbs like fresh rosemary and thyme, paired with garlic and a dash of soy sauce, create a beautifully balanced flavor profile. The steak is marinated for at least two hours—ideally overnight—allowing the flavors to deeply penetrate for an irresistibly juicy and flavorful result. Grill to your preferred doneness, then slice thinly against the grain to ensure every bite is melt-in-your-mouth tender. Perfectly paired with roasted vegetables or a crisp salad, this easy yet sophisticated recipe is a guaranteed crowd-pleaser.
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.
