Ingredients
- 1 pound flank steak
- 0.25 cup soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon (grated) fresh ginger
- 3 cloves (minced) garlic
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 2 stalks (sliced thinly for garnish) green onions
- 1 teaspoon (optional, for garnish) sesame seeds
Directions
Step 1
In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, grated ginger, minced garlic, honey, sesame oil, rice vinegar, and black pepper.
Step 2
Place the flank steak in a shallow dish or a large resealable plastic bag. Pour the marinade over the steak, ensuring it is fully coated. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, or up to 8 hours for maximum flavor.
Step 3
When ready to cook, remove the steak from the marinade and pat it dry with paper towels. Discard the remaining marinade.
Step 4
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat until shimmering hot.
Step 5
Sear the flank steak for 4 minutes on each side, or until your desired doneness is achieved (medium-rare is recommended, with an internal temperature of 130°F).
Step 6
Remove the steak from the skillet and let it rest for 5 minutes to retain its juices.
Step 7
Slice the steak thinly, against the grain, for maximum tenderness.
Step 8
Garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds, if desired, and serve immediately. Pair with steamed rice or a crisp side salad for a complete meal.
