Ingredients
  

For the Marinade
  • 1/2 cup olive oil
  • 1/3 cup low sodium soy sauce
  • 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon onion powder
  • 1 tablespoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • 1 teaspoon dried dill weed
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground coriander
For the Steak
  • 1 1/2 - 2 pounds flank steak

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together olive oil, soy sauce, balsamic vinegar, lemon juice, and Worcestershire sauce.
  2. Add the brown sugar, Dijon mustard, and all the seasonings—from onion powder to ground coriander. Stir until the sugar dissolves completely.
  3. Place the flank steak in a shallow dish or resealable plastic bag. Pour the marinade over the steak, ensuring it is fully covered.
  4. Let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours or up to 12 hours.
Cooking
  1. Heat your grill to medium-high or preheat a grill pan on high on your stovetop.
  2. Remove the steak from the marinade, allowing the excess to drip off. Place it on the hot grill.
  3. Cook for about 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare, depending on thickness.
  4. Let the flank steak rest on a cutting board for at least 5 minutes before slicing.
  5. Thinly slice the steak against the grain at a diagonal angle and serve immediately.

Notes

Don't skip the marinating process; it's crucial for flavor and tenderness. Make sure your grill is hot before adding the steak for a good sear. Resting the steak after grilling is essential for juicy meat. Slice against the grain for the best texture.
