Ingredients
Scale
- 2 pounds flank steak
- 1/3 cup soy sauce
- 1/3 cup olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped
- 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Marinade
- Combine the ingredients: In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, olive oil, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, rosemary, black pepper, and kosher salt.
Step 2: Marinate the Steak
- Add the steak to a bag: Place the flank steak in a large resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish.
- Pour the marinade: Pour the marinade over the steak, ensuring it’s fully coated.
- Refrigerate: Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight, for maximum flavor.
Step 3: Preheat the Grill or Broiler
- Set up your grill: Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. If using the broiler, preheat your oven’s broiler.
Step 4: Cook the Steak
- Grill or broil: Remove the steak from the marinade and discard the excess marinade. Grill or broil the steak for 4–5 minutes per side for medium-rare, or until it reaches your desired doneness. Use a meat thermometer for accuracy (130°F for medium-rare).
Step 5: Rest and Slice
- Let it rest: Transfer the steak to a cutting board and let it rest for 5–10 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.
- Slice thinly: Slice the steak thinly against the grain for maximum tenderness.
Step 6: Serve
- Plate and serve: Arrange the slices on a platter and serve immediately.
