Ingredients

• 1 pound flank steak
• 0.25 cup olive oil
• 3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
• 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
• 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped
• 1 tablespoon fresh thyme, chopped
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 0.5 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice (freshly squeezed)

Directions

Step 1

In a medium bowl, whisk together olive oil, balsamic vinegar, minced garlic, rosemary, thyme, oregano, red pepper flakes (if using), salt, black pepper, and lemon juice.

Step 2

Place the flank steak in a large resealable plastic bag or shallow dish, and pour the marinade over it.

Step 3

Seal the bag or cover the dish with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or up to 8 hours for maximum flavor.

Step 4

When ready to cook, preheat a grill or grill pan to high heat.

Step 5

Remove the steak from the marinade and let any excess marinade drip off. Discard the marinade.

Step 6

Place the flank steak on the grill and cook for 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare, or until the desired level of doneness is reached. Use an instant-read thermometer for accuracy (130-135°F for medium-rare).

Step 7

Remove the steak from the grill and let it rest on a cutting board for 5-10 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.

Step 8

Slice the steak against the grain into thin strips to maximize tenderness.

Step 9

Serve the Italian Flank Steak with your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a fresh green salad.
