Grilled Balsamic-and-Garlic Flank Steak



this was part of a delicious low calorie dinner. we started with a simple mache salad, then had the steak, some mahi mahi with a nice rub, zucchini with roasted red pepper sauce, and jalapeno sweet potatoes.

2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 large garlic clove
1/2 teaspoon thyme leaves
One 2 1/2-pound flank steak
Salt and freshly ground pepper

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.

Heat a grill pan (we bbq'd it). Season the steak with salt and pepper. Grill over moderately high heat, turning once, until medium, about 8 minutes per side.
