Ingredients

1 1/2 - 2 1/2 pound flank steak trimmed of excess fat
3 tablespoons olive oil
3 tablespoons soy sauce
3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
1 tablespoon honey
3 cloves garlic rough chopped
1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

Add the olive oil, honey, soy sauce, balsamic vinegar, garlic and black pepper to a gallon size zip top bag, then seal it and gently shake to blend the marinade.
Place flank steak inside the bag, seal and refrigerate at least 2 hours up to overnight.
Before grilling, discard the marinade then lightly shake any excess marinade from the steak. Bring the meat to room temperature (about 15 minutes on the counter) then dab any excess moisture with paper towel.
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat (400-450°), generously season with salt on both sides then place the flank steak on the preheated grill, closing the lid.
Grill 4-5 minutes on the first side then turn and continue grilling 3 minutes on the other side for medium rare meat. Grill time will vary with the exact size of your flank steak and your preferred doneness.
After grilling remove the steak to a platter and allow rest 10 minutes before thinly slicing against the grain.
