Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound flank steak
- 0.25 cup soy sauce
- 0.25 cup orange juice
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 0.5 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 2 stalks green onions
- 1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds
Instructions
In a small mixing bowl, whisk together soy sauce, orange juice, honey, grated fresh ginger, minced garlic, sesame oil, and red pepper flakes.
Place the flank steak in a large resealable plastic bag or shallow dish. Pour half of the glaze mixture over the steak, reserving the other half for later. Seal the bag or cover the dish and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or up to overnight.
Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.
Remove the flank steak from the marinade and discard the used marinade. Pat the steak dry with paper towels to promote even browning.
Grill the flank steak for approximately 4-5 minutes per side, or until it reaches your desired level of doneness. For medium-rare, cook to an internal temperature of 130°F (54°C).
While the steak is grilling, heat the reserved glaze in a small saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a simmer and let it reduce slightly, about 3-4 minutes, until it thickens into a glossy sauce.
Remove the steak from the grill and let it rest on a cutting board for 5 minutes to retain its juices.
Slice the steak thinly against the grain to ensure tenderness. Arrange the slices on a serving platter and drizzle with the warm glaze.
Garnish with chopped green onions and toasted sesame seeds. Serve immediately and enjoy the rich, harmonious flavors of the Pacific Rim!
