Why You'll Want This Again
Rich in bold flavors thanks to the marinade that seeps deep into the meat. The grilling adds a smoky char that enhances the steak's natural richness. It’s a great option for a quick weeknight dinner or a weekend cookout.
Step 1
Stir the flank steak with horseradish, olive oil, Dijon mustard, soy sauce, garlic, balsamic vinegar, kosher salt, and pepper in a large resealable bag. Seal it up and pop it in the fridge to marinate for a couple of hours, anywhere from 2 to 4.
Step 2
When you’re ready to cook, fire up your grill to high heat and brush the grates with a little oil so the steak doesn’t stick. Place the steak on the grill and let it sear until both sides get a nice brown crust—this usually takes about 5 to 6 minutes per side. Keep an eye on it so it doesn’t overcook; you’re aiming for a juicy medium-rare, which is about 130°F in the center if you have a meat thermometer.
Step 3
Once it’s done, take the steak off the grill and let it rest for about 5 minutes. This helps the juices settle. Finally, slice the steak thinly against the grain and enjoy!
