Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 cup low-sodium soy sauce
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 3 tbsp balsamic vinegar
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tbsp honey
  • 1 tsp black pepper
  • 1/2 tsp salt (optional, to taste)

Method
 

  1. In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, olive oil, balsamic vinegar, garlic, honey, black pepper, and salt (if using).
  2. Place the flank steak in a resealable bag or shallow dish. Pour the marinade over it, seal, and massage to coat. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or up to 8 hours.
  3. Remove the steak, pat it dry, and heat a grill or heavy skillet over high heat. Sear for 4 to 5 minutes per side for medium-rare (130°F / 54°C).
  4. Let the steak rest for 5 minutes, then slice thinly against the grain and serve with the collected juices.

Notes

Marinate the steak for at least 30 minutes; for the deepest flavor, go the full 8 hours. If you prefer a more pronounced sweet-savory balance, increase the honey to 3 tablespoons.
