Look no more. I posted this many years ago at Gail's and here. Herb-Crusted Flank Steak.
NOt sure why it isn't showing up in a search. Or maybe you see this as a rub rather than a marinade. I thought someone had posted it in the T&T but here it is anyway. It's another we don't tire of and Ive never changed a thing.
HERB-CRUSTED FLANK STEAK WITH CHERRY TOMATOES AND OLIVES
Wonderful cold the next day with salsa on open face bun
Marinate the steaks one to eight hours before grilling. What to drink: A red wine with ripe fruit (such as Côtes du Rhône) or a pale ale.

2 tablespoons chopped fresh thyme
2 tablespoons chopped fresh rosemary

For steak:
Mix first 6 ingredients in small bowl. Place steaks in large glass baking dish. Brush steaks with olive oil. Rub with herb mixture. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate at least 1 hour and up to 8 hours.
For tomatoes:
Mix all ingredients in large bowl. Season tomatoes to taste with salt and pepper. (Can be made 2 hours ahead. Let stand at room temperature.)

Spoon tomatoes with juices over steaks and serve.
