Description
Delicious, tender flank steak marinated in balsamic vinegar for a robust flavor and satisfying texture.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1.5 pounds flank steak
- 1/2 cup balsamic vinegar
- 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons fresh rosemary or thyme, chopped (or 1 tablespoon dried)
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Whisk together the balsamic vinegar, olive oil, minced garlic, herbs, salt, and pepper until well combined.
- Place the flank steak in a large resealable plastic bag or shallow dish and pour the marinade over the meat. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, ideally overnight.
- Remove the flank steak from the refrigerator and allow it to come to room temperature for about 30 minutes before cooking.
- Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Remove the steak from the marinade and discard the excess marinade.
- Cook the steak for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or longer according to your desired doneness. Use a meat thermometer to check for an internal temperature of 130°F for medium-rare.
- Allow the steak to rest for at least 5 minutes before slicing against the grain.
Notes
For optimal flavor, marinate overnight. Slice against the grain for the most tender texture. Check doneness with a meat thermometer.
