- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon black pepper

Directions
- In a bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, brown sugar, minced garlic, balsamic vinegar, olive oil, black pepper, and salt.
- Place the flat iron steak in a large resealable bag and pour the marinade over it. Seal the bag and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight for best results.
- Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Remove the steak from the marinade and discard the excess marinade.
- Grill the steak for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until it reaches your desired level of doneness. For medium-rare, the internal temperature should be around 130°F.
- Transfer the steak to a cutting board and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing. This allows the juices to redistribute and ensures a tender and juicy steak.
