Ingredients:
- 1 pound flank steak
- 3/4 cup soy sauce
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup vinegar
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 onions, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons fresh ginger, grated
Recipe Instructions:
-
Prepare the Flank Steak:
- Score one side of the flank steak by making shallow cuts in a crisscross pattern. This allows the marinade to penetrate deeply, infusing the meat with flavor.
-
Marinate the Steak:
- In a bowl, combine the soy sauce, brown sugar, vinegar, minced garlic, chopped onions, and grated ginger to create the marinade. Mix well to ensure all ingredients are fully incorporated.
- Pour the marinade over the scored flank steak, ensuring it is evenly coated on both sides.
- Cover the marinated steak and refrigerate for 1-3 days. Remember, the longer you marinate, the more tender and flavorful the meat will be. Patience is key to culinary perfection!
-
Grill to Perfection:
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
- Remove the marinated flank steak from the refrigerator and allow it to come to room temperature for about 30 minutes.
- Grill the steak for approximately 4-5 minutes per side, or until desired level of doneness is achieved. The high heat will sear the outside, locking in the juices and creating a mouthwatering crust.
-
Slice and Serve:
- Once grilled to perfection, remove the flank steak from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.
- Using a sharp knife, slice the steak thinly against the grain. This ensures tenderness and maximizes the flavor in each bite.
- Serve your Grilled Marinated Flank Steak hot off the grill for a sensational dining experience. It’s also delightful when served cold, making it a versatile dish for any occasion!
Recipe Notes:
- For an extra burst of flavor, you can reserve some of the marinade before adding it to the steak and use it as a sauce for drizzling over the sliced steak before serving.
- This recipe pairs perfectly with a side of steamed rice, grilled vegetables, or a crisp green salad for a complete and satisfying meal.
- Leftovers (if there are any!) can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. Simply reheat gently or enjoy cold for a quick and delicious meal.
