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

  1. Whisk together the balsamic vinegar, olive oil, minced garlic, herbs, salt, and pepper until well combined.
  2. 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.
  3. Remove the flank steak from the refrigerator and allow it to come to room temperature for about 30 minutes before cooking.
  4. Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Remove the steak from the marinade and discard the excess marinade.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
