If you’re eager to set your grill up and get cooking, why not do it in style? Spruce up that steak with some grilled red onions and a balsamic glaze. Top all of that off with some zesty orange gremolata, and you have a meal worth bragging about.
The flank steak practically speaks for itself and only really required a quick sprinkle with salt and pepper before grilling. For our balsamic glaze, we combined vinegar and shallots and let the mixture simmer until reduced into a nice, thick sauce. Our gremolata is made with grated orange rind instead of the standard lemon to change the flavors up and make this an almost irresistible garnish when combined with the glaze. In the end, the flavors combined into a perfect dinner we fell in love with. Keep reading below for this great steak recipe…
