Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 lb flank steak
  • 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
  • 4 cloves minced garlic
  • 2 teaspoons onion powder
  • 3 Tablespoons soy sauce or coconut aminos
  • 3 Tablespoons olive oil
  • 1/2 cup balsamic vinegar (plus more as needed)
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 3 large zucchini (ends trimmed and cut into thick slices lengthwise)
  • 23 Tablespoons olive oil for zucchini
  • 8 ounces feta cheese
  • 3 Tablespoons heavy cream or milk

Instructions

  1. In a large plastic bag or shallow dish, combine Dijon mustard, minced garlic, onion powder, soy sauce, olive oil, and half of your balsamic vinegar. Season both sides of your flank steak with salt and pepper before adding it to the marinade. Let it soak up those flavors for at least 2 hours—or overnight if you can wait.
  2. When it's time to cook, brush your grill grates with oil and set it to high heat (about 450°F). Remove your marinated flank steak from the marinade, shake off any excess marinade but keep it aside for later.
  3. Place the steak on the hot grill. Close the lid and cook for about 3-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare perfection. Toss on your zucchini slices brushed lightly with olive oil and sprinkle them with salt during the last few minutes.
  4. Once everything is grilled to perfection, remove both steak and zucchini from the grill onto a clean cutting board. Allow them to rest for about 10 minutes.
  5. While your meat rests, take that reserved marinade and pour it into a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Bring it to a rolling boil to ensure it's safe to eat. Then reduce heat and simmer until thickened.
  6. In a blender or food processor, combine feta cheese with heavy cream or milk until smooth.
  7. Brush half of your balsamic glaze over the sliced flank steak cut against the grain. Spread some whipped feta on each plate before layering on slices of grilled steak and zucchini. Drizzle with remaining glaze.
