Instructions:
| Step | Instructions |
|---|---|
| 1. | Combine garlic, ground ginger, soy sauce, sherry wine, and chopped green onions in a bowl to create the marinade. 🥣 |
| 2. | Place flank steak in a shallow pan or a resealable plastic bag. Pour the marinade over the steak, ensuring it is well coated. 💦 |
| 3. | Refrigerate the steak in the marinade for ideally overnight, allowing the flavors to meld and the meat to tenderize. Be sure to turn the steak a couple of times during this time for even marination. ⏳ |
| 4. | When ready to cook, preheat your grill to medium heat. 🔥 |
| 5. | Remove the flank steak from the marinade, letting any excess drip off. Discard the remaining marinade. |
| 6. | Grill the steak for about 6-7 minutes per side, depending on your preferred level of doneness. For medium, aim for an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C). 🥩 |
| 7. | Once done, remove the steak from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, ensuring a juicy result. 🍽️ |
| 8. | Slice the flank steak thinly against the grain. This cutting method helps to ensure tenderness in each bite. 🍴 |
| 9. | Serve your beautifully grilled and flavorful marinated flank steak alongside your favorite sides. Enjoy! 😋 |
Recipe Notes:
- Marinating overnight is recommended for the best flavor and tenderness. However, if you’re short on time, marinate for at least 4 hours.
- If you don’t have a grill, you can also cook the flank steak on a stovetop grill pan or in the oven under the broiler.
- For an extra kick of flavor, you can add a sprinkle of sesame seeds or a drizzle of sesame oil before serving.
- Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. They make fantastic additions to salads, sandwiches, or wraps! 🥪
Serving Suggestions:
- Enjoy your marinated flank steak with a side of steamed jasmine rice 🍚 and stir-fried vegetables 🥦 for a complete Asian-inspired meal.
- Slice the steak thinly and use it as a filling for tacos 🌮 or wraps, adding fresh cilantro, sliced avocado 🥑, and a squeeze of lime for a delicious twist.
- Serve atop a bed of crisp, fresh salad greens 🥗 for a lighter meal option, drizzled with a tangy Asian-inspired dressing.
