Balsamic Marinated Flank Steak

Tangy balsamic vinegar makes this marinade. Mix in Dijon mustard, garlic and basil, pour over Flank Steak, then grill and serve with a variety of veggies for a simple, fresh meal.

Ingredients

• 1 beef Flank Steak (about 1-1/2 pounds)

• 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 tablespoon chopped fresh basil leaves
• 1 1/2 teaspoons Dijon-style mustard
• 1 teaspoon minced garlic
• 1/2 teaspoon sugar

Instructions

1. Combine marinade ingredients in small bowl. Place beef Flank Steak and marinade in food-safe plastic bag; turn steak to coat. Close bag securely and marinate in refrigerator 6 hours or as long as overnight, turning occasionally.

2. Remove steak from marinade; discard marinade. Place steak on grid over medium, ash-covered coals. Grill, covered, 11 to 16 minutes (over medium heat on preheated gas grill, 16 to 21 minutes) for medium rare (145°F) to medium (160°F) doneness, turning occasionally.

3. Season steak with salt and pepper, as desired. Carve steak crosswise into thin slices.

• Test Kitchen Tips Make sure your grill is clean (to prevent flare-ups) and the rack is well-oiled (to prevent sticking).
