Marinade

Balsamic Reduction

Method

Marinade Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Marinade

    In a mixing bowl, combine olive oil, balsamic vinegar, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to combine.

  2. 2

    Marinate the Steak

    Place the flank steak in a large resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the steak, ensuring it is fully covered. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight for best results.

Balsamic Reduction Preparation

  1. 3

    Make the Balsamic Reduction

    In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine 1 cup of balsamic vinegar and 2 tablespoons of honey. Bring to a gentle boil, then reduce heat to low and let it simmer for about 15-20 minutes, or until the mixture has thickened and reduced by half.

Grilling the Steak

  1. 4

    Preheat the Grill

    Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (around 400°F or 200°C).

  2. 5

    Grill the Steak

    Remove the flank steak from the marinade and let any excess drip off. Place the steak on the grill and cook for about 5-7 minutes per side for medium-rare, or until desired doneness is reached. Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature (130°F for medium-rare).

  3. 6

    Rest the Steak

    Once cooked, remove the steak from the grill and let it rest for about 5-10 minutes before slicing. This allows the juices to redistribute.

Serving

  1. 7

    Slice and Serve

    Slice the flank steak against the grain into thin strips. Drizzle the balsamic reduction over the steak and serve immediately. Enjoy!
