There's nothing exotic about this steak, but it's a big dinner win for its ease and amazing flavors. Flank steak is often underrated. I've known many a person to say \"It has great flavor but is so tough to chew!\" While that can be true, there are a few essential steps to getting the perfect tenderness and cook!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

First, flank steak is thin, usually about \u00bd-1 inch tall. It only takes about 2-5 minutes per side on high heat to get the doneness you need. Much more than that and you'll have leather. Second, there are long fibers that run in one direction called the grain. When you slice it, you want to slice in the opposite direction of the grain, this is called slicing against the grain. This will help the bites be more tender and easier to chew. Third, flank steak is a very lean cut of beef. Marinating it first adds a ton of flavor and tenderness from the acidic ingredients. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are so many things you'll love about this balsamic flank steak! Once the steak has been marinated, dinner can come together in as little as 10 minutes. There are no complex ingredients, so besides the flank steak, you might have everything you need already in your pantry. It can also pair with nearly any side dish and is amazing on top of salads or as a wrap. Most importantly, it's super yummy! <\/p>\n\n\n\n
