Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds beef flank or skirt steak
- 0.5 cup soy sauce
- 0.25 cup olive oil
- 3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, minced
- 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
Instructions
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together soy sauce, olive oil, lemon juice, brown sugar, minced garlic, minced ginger, ground black pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using).
Place the beef flank or skirt steak in a large resealable plastic bag or shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the beef, ensuring the meat is fully coated.
Seal the bag tightly or cover the dish with plastic wrap. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, ideally overnight, to allow the flavors to penetrate the beef.
If preparing for Once-A-Month Cooking, divide the marinated beef into smaller portions for your planned meals and seal each portion in a freezer-safe bag. Label with the date and freeze for up to 3 months.
To cook the beef, preheat a grill or stovetop grill pan to medium-high heat. Remove the beef from the marinade, letting any excess drip off, and discard the marinade.
Grill the beef for 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare, or until your desired doneness is achieved. Adjust cooking time based on the thickness of the steak.
Allow the beef to rest for 5 minutes before slicing against the grain into thin strips. Serve immediately or use as desired in recipes such as tacos, salads, or rice bowls.
