Follow The Directions

01

Step

In a large resealable plastic bag or non-reactive container, combine the flank steak, horseradish, olive oil, Dijon mustard, soy sauce, minced garlic, balsamic vinegar, salt, and pepper. Ensure the steak is well-coated in the marinade. (Prep time: 5 minutes)

02

Step

Seal the bag or cover the container and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or up to 4 hours for maximum flavor penetration. (Marinating time: 2-4 hours)

03

Step

Approximately 30 minutes before grilling, remove the steak from the refrigerator to allow it to come to room temperature. This will promote more even cooking. (Resting time: 30 minutes)

04

Step

Preheat an outdoor grill to high heat (around 450-500°F or 232-260°C) and lightly oil the grill grate to prevent sticking. (Prep time: 5 minutes)

05

Step

Place the marinated flank steak on the hot grill. Sear for 5-6 minutes per side for medium-rare, adjusting the time based on your desired level of doneness. For medium-rare, an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the steak should register 130°F (54°C). (Grilling time: 10-12 minutes)

06

Step

Remove the grilled flank steak from the grill and transfer it to a cutting board. Tent loosely with foil and let it rest for at least 5 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute. This is crucial for a tender and juicy result. (Resting time: 5 minutes)

07

Step

Using a sharp knife, slice the flank steak thinly against the grain at a 45-degree angle. This will shorten the muscle fibers and further enhance tenderness. (Prep time: 5 minutes)

08

Step

Serve immediately and enjoy!

For best results, use a high-quality flank steak with good marbling.
Don't over-marinate the steak, as the acid in the marinade can break down the proteins and make it mushy.
If you don't have an outdoor grill, you can cook the flank steak in a grill pan on the stovetop or under the broiler.
Serve with your favorite sides, such as grilled vegetables, roasted potatoes, or a fresh salad.
