Bobby Flay Grilled Marinated Flank Steak

Bobby Flay Grilled Marinated Flank Steak

Flank steak is a lean and flavorful cut that benefits from marinating before grilling. Bobby Flay’s method involves soaking the steak in a zesty marinade made from olive oil, vinegar, garlic, and fresh herbs, then grilling it hot and fast for a smoky crust and tender center. The result is a perfectly balanced dish that’s delicious on its own or served with sides like grilled vegetables, salads, or potatoes.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ lbs flank steak

  • ¼ cup olive oil

  • 3 tablespoons red wine vinegar

  • 3 garlic cloves, minced

  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard

  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce

  • 1 teaspoon honey (optional, for a touch of sweetness)

  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika

  • 1 teaspoon salt

  • ½ teaspoon black pepper

  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh rosemary or thyme

  • Fresh parsley, for garnish

Instructions

  • Prepare the marinade – In a bowl, whisk together olive oil, vinegar, garlic, Dijon mustard, soy sauce, honey, paprika, salt, pepper, and rosemary.

  • Marinate the steak – Place the flank steak in a resealable bag or shallow dish. Pour the marinade over it, making sure it’s well-coated. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour or up to 8 hours.

  • Preheat the grill – Heat your grill to medium-high and lightly oil the grates.

  • Grill the steak – Remove the steak from the marinade, letting excess drip off. Grill for about 4–5 minutes per side for medium-rare, or adjust time for preferred doneness.

  • Rest the steak – Transfer to a cutting board and rest for 5–10 minutes to retain juices.

  • Slice and serve – Slice thinly against the grain, garnish with fresh parsley, and serve warm.
