How to Make Asian Flank Steak Marinade

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, brown sugar, rice vinegar, sesame oil, ginger, garlic, and red pepper flakes until the sugar is dissolved.
  2. Place the flank steak in a resealable bag or shallow dish.
  3. Pour the marinade over the steak, ensuring it's fully coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish.
  4. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, flipping the steak halfway through.
  5. Preheat your grill or skillet to high heat. Remove the steak from the marinade and discard the marinade.
  6. Grill or sear the steak for 2-3 minutes per side for medium-rare, or longer to your desired doneness. Remember to let the steak rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing against the grain for maximum tenderness.
