Ingredients

• 1 pound flank steak
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 4 tablespoons soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons honey
• 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
• 3 cloves garlic
• 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley

Directions

Step 1

In a small mixing bowl, combine olive oil, soy sauce, honey, balsamic vinegar, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, black pepper, and salt to create the marinade.

Step 2

Place the flank steak in a large resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish, and pour the marinade over it. Seal the bag tightly or cover the dish with plastic wrap. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or up to 24 hours for maximum flavor.

Step 3

Remove the steak from the refrigerator 30 minutes before cooking to allow it to come to room temperature. Preheat a heavy skillet or grill to medium-high heat.

Step 4

Lightly grease the skillet or grill with olive oil. Remove the flank steak from the marinade, letting any excess drip off, and carefully place it on the hot surface.

Step 5

Cook the steak for 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or until it reaches your desired level of doneness. Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature (130-135°F for medium-rare, 140-145°F for medium).

Step 6

Transfer the steak to a cutting board and let it rest for 5-10 minutes to redistribute the juices.

Step 7

Slice the steak thinly against the grain to ensure tenderness. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve immediately with your favorite side dishes.
