Instructions

Start by preparing the marinade. In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together olive oil, soy sauce, balsamic vinegar, lemon juice, and Worcestershire sauce. Add the brown sugar, Dijon mustard, and all the seasonings—from onion powder to ground coriander. Stir until the sugar dissolves completely, enhancing the depth of flavor.
For marinating the steak, place your flank steak in a shallow dish or a resealable plastic bag. Pour in the marinade, ensuring it fully covers the steak. For best results, let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or up to 12. The marinade will infuse the meat with a rich, tangy aroma while tenderizing it for a succulent bite.
Next, preheat your grill. Heat your grill to medium-high. If you’re using a grill pan, preheat it on high on your stovetop. A properly heated grill ensures that beautiful, caramelized char on the outside while keeping the inside juicy.
When ready to grill the flank steak, remove the steak from the marinade, allowing the excess to drip off. Place it on the hot grill, and cook for about 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare, depending on the thickness. Aim for a deep brown sear on the outside, with visible grill marks for both visual and flavorful appeal.
Once removed from the grill, let the flank steak rest on a cutting board for at least 5 minutes. This resting period allows juices to redistribute within the meat, resulting in every bite being tender and juicy.
Finally, slice and serve your beautifully grilled flank steak. Thinly slice the steak against the grain at a diagonal angle. Doing so ensures the tenderest texture. Serve immediately to enjoy the full flavor profile that each marinated layer offers.
