Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Flank steak
- 0.5 cup Soy sauce
- 0.25 cup Hoisin sauce
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 1 tablespoon Fresh ginger, grated
- 3 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon Sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon Rice vinegar
- 2 tablespoons Lime juice, freshly squeezed
- 0.5 teaspoon Red pepper flakes
- 2 pieces Green onions, thinly sliced
- 1 tablespoon Sesame seeds, for garnish
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
In a medium mixing bowl, combine soy sauce, hoisin sauce, honey, grated ginger, minced garlic, sesame oil, rice vinegar, lime juice, and red pepper flakes to create the marinade.
Place the flank steak in a resealable plastic bag or shallow dish, and pour the marinade over it. Seal the bag or cover the dish tightly. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight, turning occasionally.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F). Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.
Remove the flank steak from the marinade and allow any excess liquid to drip off. Discard the remaining marinade.
Season both sides of the steak with salt and black pepper.
Grill the steak for 5-6 minutes per side for medium-rare, or adjust the cooking time based on your desired level of doneness. Use a meat thermometer for precise results: 130°F for medium-rare or 140°F for medium.
Transfer the steak to a cutting board and let it rest for 5-10 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.
Slice the steak thinly against the grain to maximize tenderness.
Garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds before serving. Optionally, serve alongside steamed rice or a crisp Asian-style salad.
