How to Make Balsamic Marinated Flank Steak

  1. In a resealable bag, whisk together 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar, 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce, 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard, 2 cloves minced garlic, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
  2. Add the 1-1.5 lb flank steak to the bag, seal, and gently massage the marinade into the meat. Turn the bag several times to ensure even coating.
  3. Refrigerate for 20-30 minutes, turning the bag once or twice.
  4. Preheat grill to high heat for 20 minutes.
  5. Remove the steak from the bag and discard the marinade. Sprinkle generously with freshly ground black pepper.
  6. Place the steak on the preheated grill. Grill for 5-6 minutes per side for medium-rare, or longer for your desired doneness. Use a meat thermometer to ensure it reaches your desired internal temperature (130-135°F for medium-rare).
  7. Remove the steak from the grill, tent loosely with foil, and let rest for 5-7 minutes before slicing against the grain. This allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in a more tender steak.
  8. Slice the steak thinly against the grain and serve immediately with your favorite sides.
