Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound flank steak
- 0.25 cup olive oil
- 3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
- 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme, chopped
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
Instructions
In a medium bowl, whisk together olive oil, balsamic vinegar, minced garlic, rosemary, thyme, oregano, red pepper flakes (if using), salt, black pepper, and lemon juice.
Place the flank steak in a large resealable plastic bag or shallow dish, and pour the marinade over it.
Seal the bag or cover the dish with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or up to 8 hours for maximum flavor.
When ready to cook, preheat a grill or grill pan to high heat.
Remove the steak from the marinade and let any excess marinade drip off. Discard the marinade.
Place the flank steak on the grill and cook for 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare, or until the desired level of doneness is reached. Use an instant-read thermometer for accuracy (130-135°F for medium-rare).
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 against the grain into thin strips to maximize tenderness.
Serve the Italian Flank Steak with your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a fresh green salad.
