Ingredients

• 1/3 cup olive oil
• 1/3 cup soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1 tablespoon honey
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
• 4 cloves minced garlic
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
• 1.5 pounds flat iron steak

Directions

Step 1

In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together the olive oil, soy sauce, balsamic vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, honey, and Dijon mustard until well combined.

Step 2

Add the minced garlic, black pepper, and crushed red pepper flakes to the mixture. Stir to incorporate all the ingredients evenly.

Step 3

Place the flat iron steak in a large resealable plastic bag or shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the steak, ensuring it is fully coated.

Step 4

Seal the bag or cover the dish with plastic wrap. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight for best results, flipping the steak halfway through the marinating time.

Step 5

Remove the steak from the marinade and discard the excess liquid. Allow the steak to come to room temperature for about 20-30 minutes before cooking.

Step 6

Preheat your grill or cast-iron skillet to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the cooking surface to prevent sticking.

Step 7

Cook the steak for 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare or until your desired doneness is achieved. Use an instant-read thermometer for accuracy (130-135°F for medium-rare).

Step 8

Remove the steak from the heat and let it rest for 5-10 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.

Step 9

Slice the steak against the grain into thin strips and serve immediately. Enjoy!
