Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together olive oil, reduced sodium soy sauce, balsamic vinegar, lemon juice, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, and your selected spices.
  2. Place the flank steak in the bowl or bag, coating it in the marinade. Refrigerate and let it marinate for at least 4 to 12 hours.
  3. Preheat your grill to its highest setting, aiming for temperatures around 500°F to 550°F.
  4. Remove the flank steak from the marinade, letting any excess drip off, then let it sit at room temperature for 30–60 minutes.
  5. Grill the flank steak for about 5–6 minutes on one side until a rich, charred crust forms, then flip only once.
  6. Check the internal temperature; for medium-rare, it should be around 135°F.
  7. Transfer the steak to a plate and let it rest for about 10 minutes, then slice against the grain.
