Method
Preparation
- In a bowl, whisk together the balsamic vinegar, soy sauce, olive oil, brown sugar, minced garlic, Dijon mustard, and herbs.

- Let the steak rest for 5–10 minutes before slicing against the grain.
- Serve hot with fresh herbs or a drizzle of balsamic glaze.

Notes
Make the marinade in advance to save time. For even more flavor, marinate the steak overnight. Let the steak sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes before cooking for more even cooking. Use a meat thermometer for perfect doneness: 130°F for medium-rare and 140°F for medium.
