Instructions
1
Marinate the Flank Steak
Start by mixing the flank steak with horseradish, olive oil, Dijon mustard, soy sauce, garlic, balsamic vinegar, kosher salt, and pepper in a large resealable bag. Seal it up and pop it in the fridge to marinate for a couple of hours—anywhere between 2 and 4 is good.
2
Sear the Steak
When you’re ready to cook, heat your grill to high and give the grates a quick brush with oil to keep things from sticking. Place the steak on the hot grill and let it sear, about 5 to 6 minutes per side. You want a nice brown crust on both sides while keeping the inside juicy and tender. If you’re using a thermometer, aim for around 130°F for medium-rare.
3
Rest and Slice Steak
Once it’s cooked, take the steak off the grill and let it rest for about 5 minutes. This helps the juices settle. When you’re ready to serve, slice the steak thinly against the grain at a slight angle for the best texture.

Storage Tips
Store leftover steak in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently to avoid drying it out. You can also freeze cooked steak for up to 2 months; thaw overnight in the fridge before reheating.
