Ingredients

• 1 pound Flank steak
• 0.5 cup Soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon Sesame oil
• 2 tablespoons Honey
• 1 tablespoon Rice vinegar
• 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
• 1 tablespoon Fresh ginger, grated
• 1 tablespoon Sesame seeds
• 2 stalks Green onions, thinly sliced
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together soy sauce, sesame oil, honey, rice vinegar, minced garlic, grated ginger, sesame seeds, and black pepper to create the marinade.

Step 2

Place the flank steak in a resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the steak, ensuring it is evenly coated.

Step 3

Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to deeply penetrate the meat.

Step 4

When ready to cook, remove the steak from the marinade and let it come to room temperature for about 20 minutes. Discard the used marinade.

Step 5

Preheat your grill or stovetop grill pan to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grill grates or pan to prevent sticking.

Step 6

Grill the flank steak for 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or cook longer to your desired level of doneness. Use a meat thermometer to ensure the internal temperature reaches 130°F for medium-rare or 140°F for medium.

Step 7

Remove the steak from the heat and let it rest on a cutting board, covered loosely with foil, for at least 5 minutes to retain juices.

Step 8

Slice the steak thinly against the grain for maximum tenderness.

Step 9

Garnish with sliced green onions and additional sesame seeds, if desired. Serve warm with steamed rice or vegetables.
