Ingredients
– 2 pounds of beef (sirloin, ribeye, or flank steak)
– 1/2 cup balsamic vinegar
– 1/4 cup olive oil
– 2 tablespoons honey
– 3 cloves garlic, minced
– 1 teaspoon dried oregano
– 1 teaspoon dried thyme
– 1 teaspoon salt
– 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
– Fresh chopped parsley (for garnish, optional)
Instructions
Creating the perfect Grilled Balsamic Beef is simple when you follow these easy steps:
1. Prepare the Marinade: In a medium bowl, whisk together the balsamic vinegar, olive oil, honey, minced garlic, oregano, thyme, salt, and pepper until well combined.
2. Marinate the Beef: Place the beef in a resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the meat, ensuring it is well coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or overnight for maximum flavor.
3. Preheat the Grill: Before cooking, preheat your grill to medium-high heat to ensure a perfect sear.
4. Remove Beef from Marinade: Take the beef out of the marinade and let it sit at room temperature for about 15 minutes. Discard the leftover marinade.
5. Grill the Beef: Place the beef on the preheated grill. Cook for 5-7 minutes on each side for medium-rare, adjusting the time based on your preferred doneness level.
6. Check for Doneness: Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature. Aim for 130-135°F (54-57°C) for medium-rare and 140-145°F (60-63°C) for medium.
7. Rest the Meat: Once cooked to your liking, remove the beef from the grill and let it rest for 5-10 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute, ensuring a juicy result.
8. Slice and Serve: After resting, slice the beef against the grain into thin strips.
9. Garnish: If desired, sprinkle with fresh chopped parsley for a pop of color.
