Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1/3 cup olive oil
- 1/3 cup soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 4 cloves minced garlic
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
- 1.5 pounds flat iron steak
Instructions
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together the olive oil, soy sauce, balsamic vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, honey, and Dijon mustard until well combined.
Add the minced garlic, black pepper, and crushed red pepper flakes to the mixture. Stir to incorporate all the ingredients evenly.
Place the flat iron steak in a large resealable plastic bag or shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the steak, ensuring it is fully coated.
Seal the bag or cover the dish with plastic wrap. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight for best results, flipping the steak halfway through the marinating time.
Remove the steak from the marinade and discard the excess liquid. Allow the steak to come to room temperature for about 20-30 minutes before cooking.
Preheat your grill or cast-iron skillet to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the cooking surface to prevent sticking.
Cook the steak for 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare or until your desired doneness is achieved. Use an instant-read thermometer for accuracy (130-135°F for medium-rare).
Remove the steak from the heat and let it rest for 5-10 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.
Slice the steak against the grain into thin strips and serve immediately. Enjoy!
