I literally make this all. the. time. It’s so simple, and so flavorful. So of course it’s on our regular menu rotation [duh, no-brainer].
And yet, I totally have a confession: It’s never thought to blog about this beauteous recipe because it’s just so easy. But, um, if I love easy recipes, I have no doubt that you do, too.
Because, well, easy recipes means making more time for everything else in this crazy thing we call life. Like drinking wine. Or re-filling your wine glass. Or shopping for wine. So if you ask me, this is really a win-win.Oh, and by the way, did you notice there’s not even a sauce to go with it? I know, it’s bizarre. And there’s only one explanation: this is so flavorful, it doesn’t even need a sauce. Which comes directly from the mouth of a sauce-a-holic.
Like, remember that time I made a cheese sauce for cheese fritters? Because, well, cheese. And sauce. So take my word for it when I say this is just that good. Better yet – don’t. Make it yourself, and you won’t need to take my word!

- In a bowl, whisk together the balsamic vinegar, olive oil, dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, rosemary, oregano, onion powder, garlic salt, and ground pepper.
- Place the flank steak in the ziploc bag. Pour the balsamic marinade into the bag, coating the steak with the marinade. Remove excess air from the bag and seal.
- Let marinate for at least six hours (for best flavor) and up to 48 hours.
- Preheat the grill to 400 degrees. Once hot, grill the steak for 5-6 minutes on each side for medium rare, or until the internal temperature reaches 145 degrees.
- Remove from heat. Let stand for 5 minutes. Thinly slice the steak across the grain, Serve and enjoy!
Our wine choice: the 2011 Lauren Ashton Cellars Cuvee Mirabelle. With notes of pepper, smoke, and dark berries, this wine pairs perfectly with the balsamic flavors in the flank steak. Cheers!

Quite tasty! I only made 1/2 the marinade and fell it was plenty.

I’ll preface by saying I never review recipes, but this one was so good that my husband already requested I marinate another piece of beef in it (plus a pork loin) after just having it 2 days ago! We marinated a flap steak, grilled it, and then reduced the leftover sauce in a saucepan with some butter as a sauce to pour over the grilled steak – it was incredible! Highly recommend this flavorful recipe!
