Ingredients
Scale
- 1 – 1 ¼ lbs. beef flank steak
- ¼ cup balsamic vinegar
- 2 tablespoons avocado oil
- 1½ teaspoons dried Italian seasoning
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ¼ teaspoon onion powder
- ¼ teaspoon fine salt
- ⅛ teaspoon black pepper
- 2 cups fresh flat-leaf parsley leaves (about 1 bunch)
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice (about ½ medium lemon)
- 1 garlic clove, peeled
- 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- ¼ teaspoon fine salt
- ⅛ teaspoon black pepper
- Pinch of red pepper flakes (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the flank steak marinade: In a small bowl, combine the balsamic vinegar, avocado oil, garlic powder, onion powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Whisk well until combined.
- Marinate the steak: Place the flank steak in a large zip-top freezer bag or in a shallow glass container with a lid. Pour the marinade over the steak, flipping to coat all sides. Refrigerate for 3-4 hours, or up to 12 hours, flipping the bag occasionally for even marination.
- Let it rest: Remove the steak from the refrigerator and allow it to sit at room temperature for about 20 minutes while the grill preheats.
- Make the herby-green sauce: In the bowl of a food processor, combine the parsley, lemon juice, garlic, olive oil, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes. Process until almost smooth, scraping down the sides as necessary. Transfer the sauce to a small bowl and set aside.
- Preheat the grill: Heat your grill to medium-high (425-450°F).
- Season and grill the steak: Remove the steak from the marinade, discard the marinade, and place the steak on a clean plate. Season both sides with salt and pepper. Once the grill is hot, place the steak directly onto the grill grates. Grill for 5-6 minutes, then flip and grill an additional 5-6 minutes or until the desired doneness is reached.
- Let the steak rest: Transfer the cooked steak to a clean plate and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing diagonally across the grain on a cutting board. Serve with the herby-green sauce drizzled over the top and enjoy!
Notes
For best results, marinate the steak a day in advance and let it rest after grilling to retain juices.
