Meat + Poultry Balsamic Marinated Flank Steak 5.0 (3,047) 8 Reviews A balsamic vinaigrette doubles as a marinade here, giving flank steak enormous flavor while it marinates overnight. The dressing comes together quickly in a blender with garlic, rosemary, oregano, and a touch of mustard. Serve the sliced steak over toasted bread with grilled vegetables or use it as the basis for an epic steak sandwich.

With the machine on, gradually add the oil and blend until creamy. Season lightly with salt and pepper. Add the meat to a glass or ceramic baking dish and pour all but 1/4 cup of the vinaigrette on top; turn the meat to coat. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours and up to 24 hours. Light a grill and oil the grates. Remove the steak from the marinade, letting the excess drip off. Season with salt and pepper. Grill the steak over moderate heat, turning occasionally, until lightly charred and an instant-read thermometer inserted in the thickest part registers 125°F, 10 to 12 minutes. Transfer the steak to a carving board and let rest for 5 minutes. Thinly slice the meat against the grain and serve, passing the remaining vinaigrette at the table. William F.
