Steps:
- In a large Ziploc bag, combine the vinegar, oil, oregano, garlic and pepper. Add the steak and seal the bag, squeezing out as much extra air as you can. Turn and squish the bag to coat the steak with the marinade. Refrigerate at least 1 hour and up to 4 hours. Turn the bag occasionally if you can.
- When you are ready to cook the steak, preheat your grill with medium-high heat. Remove the steak from the marinade and discard the marinade. Sprinkle the steak with 3/4 teaspoon salt. Spray the onion with olive oil non-stick spray and sprinkle with the remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt.
- Grill the steak about 6 minutes and then turn it over. Continue to grill until an instant read thermometer inserted into the side of the steak reads 145F degrees, about 6 more minutes.
- Transfer the steak to a cutting board. Cover with foil to retain heat and let it rest about 10 minutes.
- While the steak is resting, grill the onions, turning occasionally, until they are tender, about 8 or so minutes.
- Thinly slice the steak against the grain into 18 slices and place on a serving platter. Top with the onions.

GRILLED BALSAMIC FLANK STEAK WITH PEPPERS AND ONIONS
Flank is a flavorful, lean cut of steak that's sliced thin and served. Make the deep, savory marinade ahead of time and let it work its magic on the meat for up to two days in the fridge. It makes party time a cinch, as the steak cooks in just 10 minutes (and this recipe can easily be doubled-or tripled to feed a crowd.)

Steps:
- Generously season steak with salt and pepper. In a large resealable bag, combine vinegar, Worcestershire, mustard, brown sugar, and oil. Rub rosemary sprigs between your palms for a few seconds to release oils, then transfer to bag. Add steak, onion, and bell peppers; remove excess air from bag, seal, and shake until marinade evenly coats meat and vegetables. Refrigerate at least 12 hours and up to 2 days.
- Remove steak and vegetables from refrigerator 1 hour before grilling. Preheat grill for direct-heat cooking. Brush grates with oil. Using tongs, remove steak from bag, allowing excess marinade to drip back in. Grill, turning a few times, until charred in places and a thermometer inserted into thickest part registers 125 degrees for medium-rare, 8 to 12 minutes, depending on thickness. Transfer to a plate; tent with foil and let stand at least 10 minutes before slicing. Meanwhile, remove vegetables from marinade and grill, turning a few times, until charred in places and tender, 10 to 12 minutes. Toast bread on grill just until charred and crisp in places, about 1 minute a side. Thinly slice steak; serve with vegetables and bread.

GRILLED FLANK STEAK WITH ONION RINGS
Steps:
- For the steak: Place the steak, olive oil, cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, black pepper, cayenne, garlic and onions in a resealable plastic bag. Shuffle in the bag for 20 seconds to cover the steak completely in the rub marinade. Let sit for at least 30 minutes if time allows.
- For the onion rings: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Separate the onion rings and place in another resealable plastic bag.
- In one bowl, whisk the half-and-half and eggs together. Add the breadcrumbs to a second bowl and in a third bowl whisk the flour with the salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder and cayenne.
- Add the flour mixture to the bag with the onions and toss well. Then dip the onions into the eggs and then dredge in the panko, pressing to coat.
- Spread the onion rings on the prepared baking sheet in an even layer. Coat with vegetable oil spray and bake in the oven until crispy, 20 to 25 minutes.
- Meanwhile, remove the steak from the bag. Lightly oil a grill pan and heat over medium-high heat. Cook the steak until desired doneness, 3 to 4 minutes on each side. Let rest for 5 minutes.
- Remove the onion rings from the oven. Slice the steak into strips and place in the center of a plate. Top with a stack of onion rings.
GRILLED FLANK STEAK WITH ONIONS
Plan ahead. It has to marinate for a day; 2 days is better. Serves 4-6, unless you invite my son. Then you should double the onion and marinade ingredients and substitute a London Broil for the flank steak. Source - a friend of a friend who found it in a cookbook 30+ years ago.

Steps:
- Place the flank steak in a sturdy resealable plastic bag. Add the sliced onions, placing them both under and on top of the meat. Mix remaining ingredients to make marinade, and pour over the meat and onions. Seal the bag and refrigerate for a minimum of 8 hours, turning the bag occasionally.
- To cook: Heat the grill. Remove the onions from the marinade, place them in an oven-proof dish and bake them (covered) for 20-30 minutes at 350 degrees. Grill the meat, turning once. The original recipe says 2" from something called "hot coals". My gas grill doesn't have "hot coals", but I've heard of them -- Take care not overcook it; Medium is overcooked, IMHO.
- To serve, slice the meat thinly across the grain and top with the baked onions, or at least be honest, and tell guests that the sliced onions are available. Saving them for yourself is not polite.

Tips for Masterful Grilled Flank Steak:
- Choose the right steak: Select a flank steak with a uniform thickness for even cooking. Look for a deep red color and minimal marbling. - Marinate the steak: Marinating tenderizes the flank steak and infuses it with flavor. Use a mixture of olive oil, soy sauce, garlic, brown sugar, and spices like cumin, paprika, or chili powder. Marinate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 24 hours. - Grill over high heat: Preheat your grill to high heat (450-500°F) before cooking. This will sear the steak and lock in the juices. - Cook quickly: Flank steak cooks quickly, so be attentive while grilling. Cook for 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare, or longer for a more well-done steak. - Let the steak rest: After grilling, let the steak rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing. This allows the juices to redistribute throughout the steak, resulting in a more tender and flavorful bite.Conclusion: Savor the Culinary Delights of Grilled Flank Steak:
Grilled flank steak, a versatile and flavorful cut, offers a delightful symphony of taste when prepared with care and attention. By selecting a high-quality steak, employing a flavorful marinade, grilling over high heat, cooking quickly, and allowing the steak to rest before slicing, you can elevate this delectable dish to new heights of culinary excellence.
