1/4cupextra-virgin olive oil
4tspstone ground Dijon mustard
1/4cupbalsamic vinegar
1/4cuplow-sodium soy sauce
1/4cupWorcestershire sauce
3long sprigsfresh rosemary
2long sprigsfresh thyme
1tsponion powder
1/4tspground black pepper
Instructions
PREP INSTRUCTIONS
Whisk together the olive oil, mustard, balsamic vinegar, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, onion powder, and black pepper until combined.
Pull rosemary leaves and thyme leaves off their stems and discard stems. Crush the leaves with your fingertips before adding them to the marinade. Give the marinade a quick whisk to distribute the herbs.
Pat steaks dry and place them in a ziplock bag. Pour the marinade over the steaks, then seal the bag and flip it around a few times, using your hands to massage the marinade so it completely covers the steaks.
Refrigerate and marinate the steaks inside the bag for 4-6 hours.
COOKING INSTRUCTIONS
Heat your grill so it stays around 400-450F. (We used a gas grill to cook these steaks.)
Remove steaks from the bag and place on the grill, directly over the flames. Discard leftover marinade.
To get a good sear and a cook of medium-well, grill steaks for 6 minutes on one side, then flip and cook 4-6 minutes on the other. I recommend using a meat thermometer to get your steaks to your preferred level of doneness.
Remove steaks from grill and let rest 5 minutes before slicing/serving. Serve warm with your choice of side dish.
