Ingredients
-
1 1/2 pounds flank steak
-
1/4 cup olive oil
-
2 tablespoons soy sauce
-
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
-
2 cloves garlic, minced
-
1 teaspoon black pepper
-
1 teaspoon salt
-
1 teaspoon honey (optional for extra tenderness)
Instructions
-
Marinate the Steak:
In a bowl, whisk together olive oil, soy sauce, balsamic vinegar, garlic, pepper, salt, and honey. Place the flank steak in a large resealable bag or shallow dish and pour marinade over it. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour (or up to 8 hours). -
Preheat the Grill:
Heat your grill to medium-high. Lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking. -
Grill the Steak:
Remove steak from marinade and grill for about 4–5 minutes per side for medium-rare, depending on thickness. -
Rest and Slice:
Let the steak rest for 5–10 minutes before slicing. Cut against the grain into thin slices for the most tender bites.
Notes
-
Always slice against the grain to keep your steak tender.
-
For extra flavor, brush a little marinade over the steak during the last minute on the grill.
-
If you don’t have a grill, a cast-iron pan works wonderfully too!
