Ingredients

• 1.5 lbs flank steak
• 0.25 cup soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons maple syrup
• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
• 4 cloves minced garlic
• 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 1 sprig fresh rosemary

Directions

Step 1

Place the flank steak on a cutting board and use a sharp knife to lightly score the surface in a crisscross pattern. This helps the marinade penetrate the meat more effectively.

Step 2

In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, olive oil, maple syrup, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, apple cider vinegar, smoked paprika, black pepper, and salt until fully combined.

Step 3

Pour half of the marinade into a resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Add the flank steak and ensure it is well coated on all sides. Reserve the remaining marinade to use as a basting sauce later.

Step 4

Add the fresh rosemary sprig to the bag (or dish) for an extra layer of flavor. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, but preferably overnight, to let the flavors meld.

Step 5

When ready to cook, preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Brush the grates with oil to prevent sticking.

Step 6

Remove the flank steak from the marinade and discard the used marinade and rosemary. Pat the steak dry with paper towels to ensure a good sear.

Step 7

Grill the steak for 4-5 minutes per side, depending on your desired level of doneness. While grilling, brush the steak with the reserved marinade occasionally for added flavor.

Step 8

Once cooked to your preference (125°F for rare, 135°F for medium-rare, or 145°F for medium), remove the steak from the grill and place it on a cutting board. Tent loosely with aluminum foil and let it rest for 5-10 minutes to redistribute the juices.

Step 9

Slice the steak thinly against the grain to ensure maximum tenderness. Serve immediately with your choice of sides, such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a fresh salad.
