Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 pounds flank steak
- 0.25 cup soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons sesame oil
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger
- 3 cloves garlic
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 2 stalks green onion
- 0.5 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, sesame oil, honey, grated ginger, minced garlic, rice vinegar, red pepper flakes, and black pepper to make the marinade.
Rinse the flank steak under cold water and pat it dry with paper towels.
Place the flank steak in a large resealable plastic bag or shallow dish and pour the marinade over it, ensuring the steak is fully coated.
Seal the bag (or cover the dish with plastic wrap) and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight for best results.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, or set your oven broiler to high and position a rack about 6 inches from the heat source.
Remove the steak from the marinade and let any excess marinade drip off. Reserve the marinade for later use.
If grilling, place the steak on the preheated grill. If broiling, place it on a broiler-safe pan or baking sheet. Cook for 5-7 minutes per side for medium-rare, or to your desired doneness.
While the steak cooks, pour the reserved marinade into a small saucepan and bring it to a boil over medium heat. Boil for 2-3 minutes to create a sauce.
Remove the steak from the grill or oven and let it rest on a cutting board for 5-10 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.
Slice the steak against the grain into thin strips, garnish with sliced green onions, and drizzle with the prepared sauce before serving. Enjoy!
