How to Make Asian Marinated Flank Steak
- In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce (1/4 cup), honey (2 tbsp), rice vinegar (1 tbsp), sesame oil (1 tbsp), hoisin sauce (2 tbsp), ginger (1 tsp), nutmeg (1/2 tsp), minced garlic (2 cloves), and red pepper flakes (1/4 tsp).
- Reserve 1/4 cup of the hoisin mixture for serving.
- Place the remaining marinade in a large zip-top plastic bag.
- Add the flank steak to the bag.
- Seal the bag tightly and marinate in the refrigerator for 24 hours, turning occasionally.
- Remove the steak from the bag and discard the marinade.
- Preheat your grill, grill pan, or broiler to medium-high heat.
- Lightly coat the grill rack with cooking spray.
- Place the steak on the prepared grill rack.
- Grill for 4 minutes per side, or until the steak reaches your desired level of doneness. Use a meat thermometer for accuracy.
- Remove the steak from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
- Slice the steak diagonally across the grain into thin slices.
- Serve the flank steak immediately with the reserved hoisin sauce, steamed sugar snap peas, and your choice of rice or soba noodles.
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
