Grilled Flank Steak

This weekend's warm weather inspired our neighbors to join us in a small cookout on our great back porch. They have a grill and we don't, so we agreed to provide the main course and a few sides and they brought beer and allowed us to use their propane device. I would normally not post a recipe I haven't made at least three times, I have decided to share this really excellent version of marinated flank steak on the grill. It's really worth a try!

Grilled Flank Steak
Serves 6
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Inactive Prep Time: 4 hours
Cook Time: 10-15 minutes

• 1 flank steak, 2-3 lbs.
• 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
• 1 cup red wine
• 1/4 cup soy sauce
• 10 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
• salt and cracked black pepper, to taste

With a fork, poke the meat all over on both sides.
Stir together the marinade ingredients in a large dish, such as a bowl or a glass baking dish. Marinate the meat for 4 hours in the refrigerator, turning every half hour or so.
Pre-heat the grill on medium high heat.
Remove the meat from the marinade and make sure to pull off any stray pieces of garlic. Grill for 6-8 minutes per side until desired temperature, making sure not to burn the meat. Allow to rest for 10-15 minutes. Slice on a bias and drizzle with a little extra balsamic vinegar.
