Step-by-Step Instructions
1
Marinate Flank Steak (10 Min)
Whisk soy sauce, olive oil, balsamic vinegar, Worcestershire, garlic, brown sugar, and rosemary in a zip-top bag. Add flank steak and marinate for at least 2 hours (or overnight).
2
High-Heat Oven Broil (10 Min)
Set oven to HIGH BROIL. Place steak on an oiled broiler pan. **Broil 4 to 5 inches beneath heating element for 5 to 6 minutes per side** until charred and internal temp hits 130°F (54°C).
3
Rest 10 Minutes & Slice Across Grain (5 Min)
Transfer steak to cutting board; rest for 10 minutes to lock in juices. Slice thinly across the grain at a 45-degree angle for maximum tenderness!
Chef Amara’s Kitchen Secrets & Pro Tips
- Slice on a 45-Degree Bias: Flank steak has prominent long grain fibers — slicing thinly on an angle across the grain guarantees melt-in-the-mouth tenderness.
- Balsamic Vinegar Tenderizer: The natural acid in balsamic vinegar breaks down tough muscle fibers during marinating.
1. Let the Meat Rest Before Slicing: Transfer cooked meat to a cutting board for 5–10 minutes before carving. Resting allows tight muscle fibers to relax and redistribute savory juices evenly throughout the cut. 2. Protect Minced Garlic from Burning: Garlic cooks and turns fragrant in just 30 to 45 seconds. Add it toward the end of sautéing onions or aromatics so it perfumes the dish without acquiring a bitter edge. 3. Chef's Kitchen Secret: Slice on a 45-Degree Bias: Flank steak has prominent long grain fibers — slicing thinly on an angle across the grain guarantees melt-in-the-mouth tenderness.
