Balsamic-Marinated Flank Steak

• Ingredients

• 1/2 cup balsamic vinegar
• 1 tablespoon packed light brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
• Salt and pepper
• 1 1/2 pounds flank steak

Preparation

1. Combine vinegar, sugar, rosemary and 1 1/2 tsp. salt in a ziplock bag. Add steak to bag, seal and turn bag several times to coat meat with marinade. Refrigerate 20 minutes, turning once or twice.
2. Preheat a gas grill to high for 20 minutes. Remove steak from marinade and sprinkle both sides with salt and pepper. Discard marinade. Grill steak for 4 to 6 minutes, turn over, and continue to grill until done, 3 to 4 minutes more for medium-rare, depending on thickness of meat and heat of grill. (Alternatively, grill in batches on a lightly oiled ridged grill pan over medium-high heat on stove.)
3. Transfer steak to cutting board, tent loosely with foil and let stand 5 minutes before slicing and serving.

I got this recipe from the ALL YOU Eat Well, Save Big Cookbook.  I let the steak marinate for a few hours instead of 20 minutes.  I also did not preheat my grill for 20 minutes more like 5 minutes.  The steak had a nice flavor.  We had left overs and ate it cold on sandwiches the next day and it was still very good.
