Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound flank steak
- 0.25 cup soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon (grated) fresh ginger
- 3 cloves (minced) garlic
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 2 stalks (sliced thinly for garnish) green onions
- 1 teaspoon (optional, for garnish) sesame seeds
Instructions
In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, grated ginger, minced garlic, honey, sesame oil, rice vinegar, and black pepper.
Place the flank steak in a shallow dish or a large resealable plastic bag. Pour the marinade over the steak, ensuring it is fully coated. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, or up to 8 hours for maximum flavor.
When ready to cook, remove the steak from the marinade and pat it dry with paper towels. Discard the remaining marinade.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat until shimmering hot.
Sear the flank steak for 4 minutes on each side, or until your desired doneness is achieved (medium-rare is recommended, with an internal temperature of 130°F).
Remove the steak from the skillet and let it rest for 5 minutes to retain its juices.
Slice the steak thinly, against the grain, for maximum tenderness.
Garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds, if desired, and serve immediately. Pair with steamed rice or a crisp side salad for a complete meal.
