Ingredients

• 2 pounds flank steak
• 0.5 cups soy sauce
• 0.25 cups olive oil
• 0.25 cups balsamic vinegar
• 2 tablespoons brown sugar
• 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
• 4 whole garlic cloves, minced
• 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 1 teaspoon onion powder

Directions

Step 1

In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, olive oil, balsamic vinegar, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, ground black pepper, and onion powder until the brown sugar is dissolved and the marinade is well combined.

Step 2

Place the flank steak in a large resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish, then pour the marinade over the steak, ensuring it is evenly coated.

Step 3

Seal the bag or cover the dish with plastic wrap, then refrigerate the steak for at least 4 hours or up to overnight for the best flavor and tenderness.

Step 4

When ready to cook, preheat your grill to medium-high heat.

Step 5

Remove the steak from the marinade and allow any excess marinade to drip off into the bag or dish. Discard the remaining marinade.

Step 6

Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking, then place the steak on the preheated grill.

Step 7

Grill the flank steak for 5-6 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or until your desired level of doneness is achieved. Use a meat thermometer to ensure an internal temperature of 130°F for medium-rare, 140°F for medium, or 150°F for medium-well.

Step 8

Remove the steak from the grill and transfer it to a cutting board. Tent the steak lightly with aluminum foil and let it rest for 5-10 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.

Step 9

Slice the steak thinly against the grain for maximum tenderness, then serve immediately with your favorite side dishes.
