Method
 

Marinating
  1. In a large Ziploc bag, whisk together the olive oil, reduced sodium soy sauce, balsamic vinegar, lemon juice, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, and Dijon mustard until well combined. Add your flank steak, ensuring it's fully submerged in the marinade. Seal the bag, then refrigerate for 4 to 12 hours to allow the flavors to penetrate the meat.
  2. About 30 to 60 minutes before grilling, remove the flank steak from the refrigerator to bring it to room temperature.
Grilling
  1. Preheat your grill over high heat for 10 to 15 minutes. Clean the grill grates with a brush.
  2. Place the marinated flank steak directly on the preheated grill, covering it with the lid. Grill for 5–6 minutes on one side without moving it.
  3. Flip the steak just once using tongs and grill for another 5–6 minutes for perfect medium doneness.
  4. Check the internal temperature; aim for 145°F for medium doneness. If not, grill for another minute or two.
  5. Remove the steak from the grill and let it rest on a cutting board for 10 minutes before slicing against the grain.
