By SapphireBlu957

This flank steak is full of Italian flavor from a simple marinade of balsamic vinegar, olive oil, thyme, and garlic. And it takes only 40 minutes from marinade to plate.

Ingredients

• 2 * 2 tablespoon(s) balsamic vinegar
• 2 * 2 tablespoon(s) extra-virgin olive oil
• 1 * 1 large garlic clove
• 1/2 * 1/2 teaspoon(s) thyme leaves
• 1 * 1 2 1/2-pound flank steak
• * Salt
• * Freshly ground pepper

Preparation

Step 1

1. In a blender, combine the vinegar, oil, garlic, and thyme and puree until smooth. In a large glass or ceramic dish, pour the marinade over the steak. Let stand for 5 minutes.
2. Heat a grill pan. Season the steak with salt and pepper. Grill over moderately high heat, turning once, until medium, about 8 minutes per side. Transfer the steak to a board and let stand for 10 minutes. Slice the steak, transfer to plates, and serve.
