In a medium mixing bowl, combine the soy sauce, olive oil, honey, balsamic vinegar, minced garlic, chopped fresh rosemary, Dijon mustard, ground black pepper, kosher salt, and lemon juice. Whisk the ingredients together until fully incorporated into a marinade.
Place the flank steak into a large resealable plastic bag or a shallow baking dish. Pour the marinade over the steak, ensuring it is fully coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight, to allow flavors to deeply penetrate the meat.
Take the steak out of the refrigerator 30 minutes before cooking to let it come to room temperature. This ensures even cooking.
Preheat a grill or grill pan to high heat. Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.
Remove the steak from the marinade, letting the excess drip off, and place it on the preheated grill. Discard the remaining marinade.
Grill the steak for 5 to 6 minutes per side for medium-rare, or longer to achieve your desired level of doneness. Use a meat thermometer to check the temperature: 130°F for medium-rare, 140°F for medium, and 150°F for medium-well.
Transfer the steak to a cutting board and cover it loosely with aluminum foil. Let it rest for 10 minutes to redistribute the juices.
Slice the steak thinly against the grain to ensure tenderness and serve immediately. Pair with your favorite sides such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a crisp green salad.
