Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a mixing bowl or Ziploc bag, whisk together olive oil, reduced sodium soy sauce, balsamic vinegar, lemon juice, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, and Dijon mustard until well combined. Add onion powder, garlic powder, paprika, black pepper, red pepper flakes, and dried herbs, mixing until the sugar dissolves.
  2. Place the flank steak in the marinade, ensuring it's completely submerged. Seal the bag tightly or cover the bowl, then gently massage the marinade into the meat for 2-3 minutes. Let the steak marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, but for maximum tenderness, aim for up to 12 hours.
  3. About 30-60 minutes before grilling, remove the marinated flank steak from the refrigerator and allow it to come to room temperature.
  4. Preheat your grill to high heat, about 450-500°F (232-260°C) for 10-15 minutes.
  5. Using tongs and a paper towel dipped in oil, carefully wipe the grill grates to prevent sticking.
  6. Place the marinated flank steak on the grill and cook for 5-6 minutes per side, aiming for an internal temperature of 130-135°F (54-57°C) for medium-rare.
  7. Once achieved, transfer the grilled flank steak to a plate and cover it loosely with aluminum foil. Let it rest for 10 minutes.
  8. After resting, slice against the grain into thin strips and serve immediately.
