Grilled Flank Steak with Flavorful Marinade

Ingredients

Flank steak

1.5 pounds

Olive oil

1/4 cup

Garlic

4 cloves, minced

Soy sauce

1/4 cup

Lemon juice

2 tablespoons, freshly squeezed

Worcestershire sauce

2 tablespoons

Dijon mustard

1 tablespoon

Brown sugar

1 tablespoon

Salt

1 teaspoon

Black pepper

1 teaspoon, freshly ground

Instructions

1. In a medium bowl, whisk together the olive oil, minced garlic, soy sauce, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, brown sugar, salt, and black pepper to create a rich marinade.
2. Place the flank steak in a shallow dish or a resealable plastic bag and pour the marinade over it, ensuring the steak is thoroughly coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or overnight for the best flavor.
3. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, ensuring it's hot enough to achieve a nice sear on the steak.
4. Remove the flank steak from the marinade, discarding any excess marinade. Pat the steak dry with paper towels to ensure a good sear.
5. Grill the steak for about 6-8 minutes per side, depending on your desired doneness. For medium-rare, aim for an internal temperature of approximately 130°F.
6. Once grilled, remove the steak from the grill and let it rest for about 5 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.
7. Slice the steak against the grain into thin strips for maximum tenderness.
8. Serve the grilled flank steak with your favorite side dishes, such as grilled vegetables, a fresh salad, or garlic mashed potatoes, and enjoy the burst of flavors!
