Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Flank steak
- 0.5 cup Soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Sesame oil
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 1 tablespoon Rice vinegar
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon Fresh ginger, grated
- 1 tablespoon Sesame seeds
- 2 stalks Green onions, thinly sliced
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together soy sauce, sesame oil, honey, rice vinegar, minced garlic, grated ginger, sesame seeds, and black pepper to create the marinade.
Place the flank steak in a 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 and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to deeply penetrate the meat.
When ready to cook, remove the steak from the marinade and let it come to room temperature for about 20 minutes. Discard the used marinade.
Preheat your grill or stovetop grill pan to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grill grates or pan to prevent sticking.
Grill the flank steak for 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or cook longer to your desired level of doneness. Use a meat thermometer to ensure the internal temperature reaches 130°F for medium-rare or 140°F for medium.
Remove the steak from the heat and let it rest on a cutting board, covered loosely with foil, for at least 5 minutes to retain juices.
Slice the steak thinly against the grain for maximum tenderness.
Garnish with sliced green onions and additional sesame seeds, if desired. Serve warm with steamed rice or vegetables.
