How to Make Asian Marinated Flank Steak

  1. In a gallon-sized zip-top bag, whisk together 1/4 cup soy sauce, 1/4 cup rice vinegar, 2 tablespoons brown sugar, 2 tablespoons sesame oil, 1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger, 1 tablespoon minced garlic, 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional), and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper.
  2. Add the flank steak (about 1.5 lbs) to the bag. Remove as much air as possible and seal tightly.
  3. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, or up to 24 hours, turning the bag occasionally.
  4. Preheat grill or broiler to medium-high heat.
  5. Remove the steak from the marinade and discard the marinade. Grill or broil for 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare, or longer to reach your desired doneness. Use a meat thermometer to ensure the steak reaches your preferred internal temperature.
  6. Let the steak rest for 5-10 minutes before thinly slicing against the grain.
  7. Serve immediately and enjoy!
  8. **To OAMC (One-Minute-Ahead Meal):** After marinating, freeze the steak in the bag for up to 6 months. Thaw completely in the refrigerator for at least 24 hours before grilling.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Small additions can make a big impact! Try a sprinkle of fresh herbs, a dash of your favorite spice blend, or a squeeze of citrus just before serving to really enhance the flavors of your dish.
