Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Flank steak
- 0.5 cup Soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons Mirin (Japanese sweet rice wine)
- 3 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Fresh ginger, minced
- 1 tablespoon Sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon Rice vinegar
- 2 stalks Green onions, chopped (optional for garnish)
- 1 tablespoon Sesame seeds (optional for garnish)
- 1 tablespoon Vegetable oil (for grilling or searing)
Instructions
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine soy sauce, brown sugar, mirin, minced garlic, minced ginger, sesame oil, and rice vinegar. Whisk until the sugar is fully dissolved and the marinade is well combined.
Place the flank steak in a large zip-top bag or shallow dish. Pour the teriyaki marinade over the steak, ensuring it is fully submerged or evenly coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight for maximum flavor.
Remove the steak from the refrigerator and let it come to room temperature for about 20-30 minutes before cooking. Discard the marinade.
Heat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Lightly brush the grates or pan with vegetable oil to prevent sticking.
Place the flank steak on the preheated grill or pan. Cook for 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare, or adjust the cooking time based on your preferred doneness. Use a meat thermometer to check for a temperature of 130°F (medium-rare) to 140°F (medium).
Once cooked to your liking, transfer the steak to a cutting board. Let it rest for 5-10 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.
Slice the steak thinly against the grain to ensure tenderness. Garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds, if desired.
Serve the teriyaki marinated flank steak warm with your choice of sides, such as steamed rice, grilled vegetables, or a fresh salad.
