Imagine a perfectly seared flank steak, its crust glistening with a caramelized marinade that crackles at the edges, while the aroma of garlic, lemon, and smoky char dances in the air. Each slice reveals a juicy, medium-rare interior kissed by a bold marinade of soy sauce, Dijon mustard, and tangy red wine vinegar. The first bite is a burst of zesty brightness from the lemon, balanced by the umami depth of Worcestershire and the gentle heat of black pepper clinging to the tender, velvety meat.

This steak is a masterclass in simplicity and flavor—marinated to infuse every fiber with savory richness, then seared to create a crispy exterior that gives way to melt-in-your-mouth tenderness. The marinade’s acidity tenderizes the meat while amplifying its natural beefy sweetness, resulting in a dish that’s both vibrant and deeply satisfying.

Serve it sliced thinly against the grain, fanned out on a platter, and drizzled with reserved marinade for an extra punch of flavor. Pair it with garlicky roasted vegetables, buttery mashed potatoes, or a crisp arugula salad with shaved Parmesan. Ideal for summer barbecues, date nights, or meal-prepping for lunches that defy the ordinary.

Ingredients:

Steak & Marinade

• 1.5 lb flank steak
• ¼ cup vegetable oil
• ⅓ cup low-sodium soy sauce
• 2 tbsp red wine vinegar
• Juice of 1 lemon
• 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
• 1.5 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
• 3 garlic cloves, minced
• ½ tsp black pepper

For Serving

• Reserved marinade (for drizzling)
• Fresh parsley or thyme (optional garnish)

---

Instructions:

1. Whisk the Marinade: In a mixing bowl, combine ¼ cup vegetable oil, ¼ cup low-sodium soy sauce, 2 tbsp red wine vinegar, the juice of 1 fresh lemon, 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce, and 1 tbsp Dijon mustard. Whisk until smooth and emulsified.
2. Add the Aromatics: Stir in 3 cloves of minced garlic and 1 tsp freshly ground black pepper. The garlic will infuse the marinade with its bold, savory flavor, while the pepper adds a subtle kick.
3. Coat the Steak: Place 1 ½ lbs of flank steak in a resealable bag or shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the steak, ensuring every inch is thoroughly coated. Massage the marinade into the meat to help it absorb all those delicious flavors.
4. Marinate & Infuse: Let the steak marinate for at least 30 minutes at room temperature, or up to 4 hours in the fridge for deeper flavor. If refrigerating, let it sit at room temperature for 20-30 minutes before cooking.
5. Cook to Perfection: Cook the steak using your preferred method:
   • Grill: Preheat the grill to high heat. Sear the steak for 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare, or until it reaches your desired doneness.
   • Pan-Sear: Heat a cast-iron skillet over high heat. Sear the steak for 4-5 minutes per side, then finish in a 400°F (200°C) oven for 5-7 minutes if needed.
   • Broil: Place the steak on a broiler pan and broil for 5-6 minutes per side, watching closely to avoid burning.
6. Rest & Slice: Let the steak rest for 10 minutes before slicing against the grain into thin strips. This ensures maximum tenderness.

Pro Tip: Reserve a bit of the marinade (before adding the steak) to drizzle over the cooked steak or use as a dipping sauce.
