Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound flank steak
- 0.333 cup soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon (grated) fresh ginger
- 2 cloves (minced) garlic
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 2 stalks (chopped, for garnish) green onions
- 1 teaspoon (optional, for garnish) sesame seeds
Instructions
In a small bowl, combine soy sauce, grated ginger, minced garlic, honey, sesame oil, lime juice, and ground black pepper. Whisk well to create the marinade.
Place the flank steak in a large resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the steak, ensuring it's fully coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish with plastic wrap.
Refrigerate the steak and let it marinate for at least 2 hours, or ideally overnight for maximum flavor.
When ready to cook, preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.
Remove the flank steak from the marinade and let the excess drip off. Discard the remaining marinade.
Place the steak on the grill and cook for approximately 5-6 minutes per side for medium-rare, or longer if you prefer it more well-done. Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature; it should read 135°F (57°C) for medium-rare.
Once cooked to your desired doneness, remove the steak from the grill and let it rest on a cutting board for about 5 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.
Slice the steak thinly against the grain to ensure tenderness. Transfer to a serving platter.
Garnish with chopped green onions and a sprinkle of sesame seeds, if desired. Serve hot and enjoy!
