Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound lean flank steak
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
- 2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 3 large garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme, chopped
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
Instructions
Place the flank steak in a large resealable plastic bag or shallow dish.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the olive oil, balsamic vinegar, soy sauce, lemon juice, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, chopped thyme, black pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using).
Pour the marinade over the steak, making sure it is thoroughly coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight for best results.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
Remove the steak from the marinade, letting excess drip off, and discard the leftover marinade.
Place the steak on the grill and cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until it reaches your desired level of doneness. For medium-rare, aim for an internal temperature of 130°F (54°C).
Once cooked, transfer the steak to a cutting board and let it rest for 5 minutes to retain its juices.
Slice the steak thinly against the grain and serve immediately. Enjoy your heart-healthy meal!
