Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb flank steak
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 2 tbsp balsamic vinegar
- 1 tbsp honey
- 3 pcs garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tsp ground black pepper
- 1 tsp kosher salt
- 1 tsp fresh rosemary, chopped
- 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
Instructions
Trim any excess fat from the flank steak and set it aside.
In a mixing bowl, combine olive oil, soy sauce, balsamic vinegar, honey, minced garlic, black pepper, kosher salt, fresh rosemary, and lemon juice. Whisk the ingredients until well combined.
Place the flank steak in a resealable plastic bag or shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the steak, ensuring it is well coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish with plastic wrap.
Marinate the steak in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight for maximum flavor.
When ready to cook, remove the steak from the refrigerator and allow it to come to room temperature for 30 minutes.
Heat a heavy-bottomed skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat. Add a drizzle of olive oil to the pan to prevent sticking.
Once the pan is hot, remove the steak from the marinade, letting any excess drip off, and place it on the skillet. Cook for 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare, or adjust cooking time to your desired level of doneness.
Using tongs, remove the steak from the heat and transfer it to a cutting board. Let it rest for 5-10 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.
Slice the steak against the grain into thin slices to ensure tenderness. Serve immediately and enjoy!
