Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 lbs flank steak
- 0.5 cups soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons sesame oil
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon sriracha or chili garlic sauce
- 2 stalks green onions, sliced (for garnish)
- 1 teaspoon toasted sesame seeds (for garnish)
Instructions
In a medium bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, sesame oil, brown sugar, grated ginger, minced garlic, rice vinegar, and sriracha to form the marinade.
Place the flank steak in a large 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 4 hours or up to overnight for maximum flavor.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 450°F). Lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.
Remove the flank steak from the marinade and discard the leftover marinade. Pat the steak dry with paper towels to promote even searing.
Grill the steak for 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare, or adjust the cooking time according to your preferred doneness. Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature (130°F for medium-rare).
Once cooked, transfer the steak to a cutting board and let it rest for 5-10 minutes to retain its juices.
Slice the steak thinly against the grain into strips for maximum tenderness.
Garnish with sliced green onions and toasted sesame seeds before serving. Enjoy your Grilled Asian Flank Steak with rice, salad, or steamed vegetables.
