Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound flank steak
- 0.5 cup soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 2 green onions, chopped
- 0.5 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds, for garnish
Instructions
In a medium bowl, whisk together soy sauce, brown sugar, sesame oil, minced garlic, grated ginger, rice vinegar, green onions, and red pepper flakes to make the marinade.
Place the flank steak in a large resealable plastic bag or shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the steak, ensuring it is completely coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish, and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight to enhance flavor.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Oil the grates lightly to prevent sticking.
Remove the flank steak from the marinade and discard the marinade.
Grill the steak for 4-5 minutes per side, or until it reaches your desired level of doneness (130°F for medium-rare, 140°F for medium). Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature.
Remove the steak from the grill and let it rest for 5-10 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.
Slice the steak thinly against the grain to ensure tenderness.
Sprinkle with sesame seeds for garnish and serve hot. Pair with steamed rice, grilled vegetables, or lettuce wraps for a complete meal.
