- In a bowl, whisk together soy sauce, olive oil, Worcestershire sauce, balsamic vinegar, minced garlic, oregano, thyme, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper.
- Place the flank steak in a zip-top plastic bag or shallow dish and pour the marinade over it. Ensure the steak is evenly coated. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or overnight for maximum flavor.
