Ingredients

• 1.5 lbs Flank steak
• 0.5 cup Soy sauce
• 2 tbsp Brown sugar
• 1 tbsp Sesame oil
• 1 tbsp Fresh ginger, grated
• 3 cloves Garlic, minced
• 1 tbsp Rice vinegar
• 0.25 tsp Red pepper flakes
• 2 Green onions, chopped (for garnish)
• 1 tsp Sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

In a medium bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, brown sugar, sesame oil, grated ginger, minced garlic, rice vinegar, and red pepper flakes to create the marinade.

Step 2

Place the flank steak in a large resealable plastic bag or shallow dish and pour the marinade over it. Seal the bag or cover the dish tightly. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight for best results.

Step 3

When ready to cook, preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.

Step 4

Remove the flank steak from the marinade, letting the excess drip off, and place it on the preheated grill.

Step 5

Grill the steak for 4-6 minutes per side, depending on the thickness, until it reaches your desired level of doneness (130°F for medium-rare, 140°F for medium).

Step 6

Remove the steak from the grill and let it rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing to retain the juices.

Step 7

Slice the steak thinly against the grain, which helps ensure tenderness.

Step 8

Garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds if desired. Serve warm with sides like steamed rice or grilled vegetables for a complete meal.
