A simple, quick garlic marinade is the secret to making the best grilled flank steak you’ve ever tasted.

Ingredients

  • flank steak
    2 ½ lb
  • unfiltered apple cider vinegar
    ¼ c
  • extra-virgin olive oil
    2 tbsp
  • garlic cloves
    8
  • kosher salt
    3 tsp
  • brown sugar
    2 tsp
  • black pepper
    ½ tsp

Directions

  1. 1

    In a small bowl, whisk together the apple cider vinegar, olive oil, garlic, 2 teaspoons of the salt, and brown sugar, (if using) until well combined.

    Step 1
  2. 2

    Season the flank steak all over with the pepper and the remaining 1 teaspoon salt. Place the steak in a 9 x 13-inch baking dish or large zip-top bag. Pour the marinade over the steak and turn to coat well on both sides.  Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour or up to 4 hours.

    Step 2
  3. 3

    Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Remove the steak from the marinade, allowing any excess to drip off. Discard the used marinade. Grill the steak for 5 to 8 minutes per side for medium-rare, or until the temperature reaches 135°F on an instant-read thermometer.

    Step 3
  4. 4

    Transfer the steak to a cutting board and let rest for 5 minutes. Using a sharp knife, thinly slice the steak against the grain on the diagonal. Arrange on a serving platter and serve.
