Ingredients

• 1.5 pounds flank steak
• 0.25 cups soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons sesame oil
• 1 tablespoon brown sugar
• 3 cloves garlic
• 1 teaspoon ginger
• 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
• 2 tablespoons sesame seeds
• 2 stalks scallions
• 0.5 teaspoons black pepper

Directions

Step 1

In a medium bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, sesame oil, brown sugar, minced garlic, grated ginger, rice vinegar, and black pepper.

Step 2

Place the flank steak in a large resealable plastic bag or shallow dish, then pour the marinade over the steak. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or up to 8 hours, turning occasionally to ensure even marination.

Step 3

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

Step 4

Remove the steak from the marinade and let any excess marinade drip off. Reserve the remaining marinade for basting.

Step 5

Grill the steak for about 5-6 minutes per side, or until it reaches your desired level of doneness (125°F for rare, 135°F for medium-rare, 145°F for medium). Baste with the reserved marinade occasionally during cooking.

Step 6

Transfer the steak to a cutting board, cover loosely with foil, and let rest for 5-10 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.

Step 7

While the steak rests, toast the sesame seeds in a small skillet over medium heat until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes. Chop the scallions into thin slices.

Step 8

Slice the steak thinly against the grain, then transfer to a serving platter.

Step 9

Garnish the steak with toasted sesame seeds and chopped scallions. Serve immediately and enjoy!
