Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound flank steak
- 0.25 cup soy sauce
- 3 tablespoons brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 pieces garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon ginger, grated
- 0.5 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 2 pieces green onions, chopped (for garnish)
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine soy sauce, brown sugar, honey, olive oil, minced garlic, grated ginger, red pepper flakes, and black pepper. Whisk until the sugar dissolves and the mixture is well combined.
Place the flank steak into a resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the steak, ensuring it is fully coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 2 hours. For best results, marinate overnight.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (around 400°F or 204°C). Lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.
Remove the flank steak from the marinade and allow it to sit at room temperature for 15 minutes. Reserve the marinade for glazing.
Place the steak on the hot grill and cook for about 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare or longer for your desired doneness. Use a meat thermometer for accuracy (135°F for medium-rare, 145°F for medium).
While the steak cooks, transfer the reserved marinade to a small saucepan. Bring it to a simmer over medium heat and cook for 3-4 minutes until slightly thickened. Be sure to boil it to eliminate any bacteria from raw meat contact.
Once the steak is done, remove it from the grill and let it rest for 5-10 minutes on a cutting board to retain juices.
Brush the thickened glaze over the steak before slicing.
Slice the steak against the grain into thin strips. Garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds, if desired.
Serve hot alongside your favorite sides, such as grilled vegetables or mashed potatoes.
