Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound flank steak
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 3 cloves garlic
- 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
Instructions
In a small mixing bowl, combine olive oil, soy sauce, honey, balsamic vinegar, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, black pepper, and salt to create the marinade.
Place the flank steak in a large resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish, and pour the marinade over it. Seal the bag tightly or cover the dish with plastic wrap. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or up to 24 hours for maximum flavor.
Remove the steak from the refrigerator 30 minutes before cooking to allow it to come to room temperature. Preheat a heavy skillet or grill to medium-high heat.
Lightly grease the skillet or grill with olive oil. Remove the flank steak from the marinade, letting any excess drip off, and carefully place it on the hot surface.
Cook the steak for 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or until it reaches your desired level of doneness. Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature (130-135°F for medium-rare, 140-145°F for medium).
Transfer the steak to a cutting board and let it rest for 5-10 minutes to redistribute the juices.
Slice the steak thinly against the grain to ensure tenderness. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve immediately with your favorite side dishes.
