Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Flank steak
- 0.25 cup Soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon Sesame oil
- 3 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Fresh ginger, grated
- 1 tablespoon Rice vinegar
- 2 Green onions, sliced
- 1 tablespoon Sesame seeds (optional)
- 1 tablespoon Vegetable oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
In a small mixing bowl, combine the soy sauce, brown sugar, sesame oil, minced garlic, grated ginger, rice vinegar, salt, and black pepper. Whisk until well combined.
Place the flank steak in a large resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the steak, ensuring it is evenly coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish with plastic wrap.
Marinate the steak in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours or up to overnight for maximum flavor.
Remove the steak from the refrigerator about 30 minutes before cooking to allow it to come to room temperature.
Preheat a grill or broiler to high heat (about 450°F to 500°F). If using a grill, lightly oil the grates with vegetable oil.
Remove the steak from the marinade and shake off any excess liquid. Discard the remaining marinade.
Grill or broil the steak for 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare, or adjust the cooking time based on your preferred doneness.
Transfer the cooked steak to a cutting board and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
Slice the steak thinly against the grain to ensure tenderness.
Garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds, if desired. Serve immediately with your favorite sides.
