How to Make Alexa's Cilantro Ginger Flank Steak

  1. In a 13x9x2-inch glass baking dish, whisk together 1/2 cup soy sauce, 1/4 cup rice vinegar, 2 tablespoons grated fresh ginger, 1/4 cup packed fresh cilantro, and 2 cloves minced garlic.
  2. Add the flank steak (about 1.5 lbs) to the marinade, ensuring it's fully coated.
  3. Marinate for at least 1 hour at room temperature, or for optimal flavor, cover and refrigerate overnight, turning occasionally.
  4. Prepare your grill to medium-high heat or preheat your broiler.
  5. Remove the steak from the marinade and reserve the marinade. Pour the marinade into a small saucepan and bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until slightly reduced (about 5 minutes).
  6. Grill or broil the steak for 5-7 minutes per side for medium-rare, or longer depending on your desired doneness. Use a meat thermometer to ensure it reaches your preferred internal temperature.
  7. Transfer the cooked steak to a cutting board and let it rest for 10 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in a more tender steak.
  8. Thinly slice the steak across the grain.
  9. Serve immediately, drizzled with the reduced marinade sauce.
