Ingredients
- 1 1/2 pounds beef flank steak
- Kosher salt, to taste

BALSAMIC MARINADE
- 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh basil or 1 teaspoon dry
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1/2 teaspoon granulated sugar

- When ready to cook, remove steak from bag and discard marinade. Preheat grill.
- Place steak on grill over medium heat. Grill, covered, 6 to 8 minutes per side for medium rare to medium doneness (135-150°F). Remove steak, tent with foil, and allow to rest 10 minutes.
