Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Flank steak
- 0.25 cup Soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons Fresh ginger
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 1 tablespoon Sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon Rice vinegar
- 0.5 teaspoon Red pepper flakes
- 2 stalks Green onions
- 1 tablespoon Sesame seeds
Instructions
Place the flank steak on a cutting board and use a sharp knife to score shallow cuts into the surface of the meat on both sides. This will help the marinade penetrate deeply.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, grated ginger, minced garlic, honey, sesame oil, rice vinegar, and red pepper flakes to create the marinade.
Transfer the steak into a large resealable plastic bag or shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the steak, ensuring it is evenly coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish tightly with plastic wrap.
Refrigerate the marinated steak for at least 1 hour, or ideally overnight, to allow the flavors to fully develop.
When ready to cook, preheat your grill to medium-high heat or heat a large skillet over medium-high heat on the stove.
Remove the steak from the marinade, letting any excess drip off, and discard the remaining marinade.
Grill or sear the steak for 4-5 minutes per side, or until it reaches your desired level of doneness (135°F for medium-rare). Use a meat thermometer for accuracy.
Transfer the cooked steak to a cutting board and let it rest for 5 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.
Slice the flank steak thinly against the grain to ensure tenderness.
Garnish with thinly sliced green onions and a sprinkle of sesame seeds before serving.
