Ingredients

  • 1.5 lb flank steak 672 g
  • 3 Tbsp balsamic vinegar 45 g
  • 3 Tbsp soy sauce 45 g
  • 3 Tbsp dijon mustard 45 g
  • 1 Tbsp honey 15 g
  • 6 cloves garlic minced (or frozen cubes)
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Combine all ingredients besides the meat, salt and pepper to make the marinade. Trim any obvious fat off the flank steak and place it in a shallow dish or a large resealable bag. Pour marinade over steak and let marinade for 30 minutes at room temp, or store in the fridge for up to 6 hours. Pull it out 30 minutes prior to cooking to bring back to room temp.
  • Heat a grill or cast iron skillet to high heat. Spray or drizzle a little avocado oil in the skillet or grill and let it get nice and hot.
  • Remove your steak from the marinade and give each side a good sprinkle of kosher salt and some cracks of pepper. Sear for 3-4 minutes per side, depending on thickness. Remove when internal heat hits around 130, since it will continue to cook after you pull it off. Tent with foil and let it rest for five-ten minutes before slicing thinly against the grain. This is so important!*
  • Serve with a drizzle of balsamic glaze and a side salad or some simple greens.

Notes

*Whichever way you see the lines running in the meat, cut perpendicular to that to avoid the tough hunks of meat that pull out of your sandwich in the first bite!
