"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."

Marinade time: 6 to 24 hours Total recipe time: 30 minutes Serves: 6

 

1 beef flank steak (about 1 1/2 pounds)

Salt and pepper

 

Balsamic Marinade

1/4 cup balsamic vinegar

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 tablespoon chopped fresh basil

1 1/2 teaspoons Dijon-style mustard

1 clove garlic, minced

Combine marinade ingredients in small bowl. Place beef 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.

Remove steak from marinade, discard marinade. Place steak on grid over medium, ash-covered coals.

Grill, covered, 11 to 16 minutes (or over medium heat on preheated gas grill 16 to 21 minutes), for medium rare (145°) to medium (160°) doneness, turning occasionally. Season steak with salt and pepper, as desired. Carve steak crosswise into thin slices.
