Ingredients
- 1/3 cup soy sauce
- ½ cup olive oil
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tablespoon lime juice, or red wine vinegar / balsamic vinegar
- ½ small onion, small chunks
- 3 cloves garlic, minced (1 tablespoon minced garlic)
- 2 tablespoons green onions, minced
- 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning, or fresh thyme and rosemary
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 2 pounds flank steak, (907g)
Instructions
- Add all ingredients except the steak to a mixing bowl. Whisk together until fully combined.
- Pierce the flank steak with a fork all over, and then place in the bowl*.
- Turn the steak several times to coat thoroughly.
- Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and place in the fridge for 2-24 hours.
- Remove from the fridge 30 minutes before grilling. Take the steak out of the marinade and remove excess moisture with paper towels. Discard the marinade**.
- Preheat grill for medium-high heat, about 400°F (204°C).
- Spray the grill grates with cooking oil spray.
- When hot, place flank steak on the grill.
- Grill the first side for 1 minute to sear. Then flip the steak and grill for 1 minute on the other side.
- Continue cooking for 2-3 minutes per PER SIDE to desired doneness***, flipping every minute for even cooking.
- Remove to a cutting board and let the steak rest covered with aluminum foil for 5 minutes (this is so the juices retreat into the meat).

Notes
- *You can also marinate flank steak in a large zip-top bag instead of a bowl.
- **Leftover marinade should be discarded since it has bacteria from the raw meat.

- Avoid piercing/cutting into the steak during cooking, as juices will escape making the meat drier.
