How to Make Asian Grilled Flank Steak
- Score the flank steak on both sides, creating ½-inch deep cuts, but do not cut all the way through.
- Place the steak in a shallow glass dish or large resealable plastic bag.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the marinade ingredients: ¼ cup soy sauce, 2 tablespoons brown sugar, 2 tablespoons rice vinegar, 1 tablespoon sesame oil, 2 cloves garlic (minced), 1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger, 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional).
- Pour the marinade over the steak, ensuring it's fully coated.
- Cover the dish or seal the bag tightly.
- Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight for maximum flavor.
- Remove the steak from the marinade and discard the marinade.
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Clean the grill grates to prevent sticking.
- Grill the steak for 15-20 minutes, or until it reaches your desired level of doneness (internal temperature of 130-135°F for medium-rare), turning every 8 minutes. Use a meat thermometer for accuracy.
- Once cooked, remove the steak from the grill and let it rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing. This allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in a more tender steak.
- To serve, slice the steak thinly against the grain. Serve immediately with your choice of white rice, grilled potatoes or vegetables, and a mixed green salad.
