Ingredients

• 1.5 pounds Flank steak
• 0.5 cups Soy sauce
• 0.5 cups Pineapple juice
• 0.25 cups Brown sugar
• 1 tablespoon Fresh ginger
• 3 cloves Garlic cloves
• 1 tablespoon Sesame oil
• 2 stalks Green onions
• 1 teaspoon Sesame seeds
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

In a mixing bowl, combine the soy sauce, pineapple juice, brown sugar, sesame oil, grated ginger, and minced garlic cloves. Stir until the brown sugar is dissolved.

Step 2

Place the flank steak in a large resealable plastic bag or shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the steak, ensuring it is well-coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish with plastic wrap.

Step 3

Refrigerate the steak and marinate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to penetrate the meat fully.

Step 4

When ready to cook, preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F). Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.

Step 5

Remove the steak from the marinade and pat it dry with a paper towel. Reserve the marinade for later use.

Step 6

Season the steak with salt and black pepper on both sides.

Step 7

Grill the steak for about 5-6 minutes per side for medium-rare, or adjust the time to your desired doneness. Use a meat thermometer to check the temperature (130-135°F for medium-rare).

Step 8

While the steak is grilling, pour the reserved marinade into a small saucepan. Bring it to a boil and let it simmer for 3-4 minutes to thicken slightly, creating a glaze.

Step 9

Once the steak is cooked to your preference, remove it from the grill and let it rest for 5-10 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.

Step 10

Slice the steak against the grain into thin strips and pour the prepared glaze over the top.

Step 11

Garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds before serving. Enjoy your Polynesian Flank Steak with steamed rice or grilled vegetables!
