Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 pounds flank steak
- 0.25 cups soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 2 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
- 12 whole stalks green onions
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
Instructions
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the soy sauce, sesame oil, honey, rice vinegar, minced garlic, grated ginger, and sesame seeds to create the marinade.
Place the flank steak in a resealable plastic bag or 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, or up to overnight for best results.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F). Lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.
Remove the steak from the marinade and allow any excess marinade to drip off. Disregard the used marinade.
Place the steak on the hot grill. Cook for 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare or longer depending on your preferred doneness. Use a meat thermometer to ensure the steak reaches 130-135°F for medium-rare.
While the steak is grilling, toss the green onions with olive oil, and season them with salt and black pepper.
Place the green onions on the grill perpendicular to the grates to prevent them from falling through. Grill for about 2-3 minutes per side, or until lightly charred and tender.
Once the steak is done, remove it from the grill and let it rest on a cutting board for 5-10 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.
Slice the steak thinly against the grain for maximum tenderness. Serve alongside the grilled green onions, and garnish with additional sesame seeds if desired.
