Ingredients
- 1 pound flank steak
- 0.25 cup olive oil
- 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 4 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon onion powder
- 0.25 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
Directions
Step 1
In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together olive oil, balsamic vinegar, lemon juice, and minced garlic.
Step 2
Add fresh rosemary, thyme leaves, black pepper, onion powder, and optional red pepper flakes to the bowl. Mix well to combine.
Step 3
Place the flank steak in a large resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the steak, ensuring it is fully coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish.
Step 4
Refrigerate the steak for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to infuse.
Step 5
Preheat your grill to high heat. Remove the steak from the marinade and let it come to room temperature for about 15 minutes before grilling.
Step 6
Oil the grill grates lightly to prevent sticking. Place the flank steak on the hot grill.
Step 7
Grill the steak for approximately 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, depending on the thickness of the steak.
Step 8
Remove the steak from the grill and let it rest for at least 5 minutes to retain its juices.
Step 9
Slice the steak thinly against the grain to enhance tenderness and serve immediately.
