Ingredients:

- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon chili flakes (adjust to taste)

- 1 (about 1 1/2 pounds) flank steak
Instructions:
| Step | Description |
|---|---|
| 1 | In a bowl, mix together grated ginger, minced garlic, chili flakes, lime juice, brown sugar, soy sauce, and sesame oil until well combined. |
| 2 | Place the flank steak in a shallow dish or resealable plastic bag, and pour the marinade over it, ensuring the steak is fully coated. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least one hour, preferably longer for maximum flavor. |
| 3 | After marinating, remove the steak from the refrigerator and let it come to room temperature for about 15 minutes. Meanwhile, preheat your grill or broiler to medium-high heat. |
| 4 | Drain off the excess marinade from the steak and transfer it to a saucepan. Bring the marinade to a simmer over medium heat and let it cook for at least 5 minutes to thicken slightly. Keep warm for serving. |
| 5 | Grill or broil the steak for about 4-6 minutes per side, depending on your desired level of doneness, basting occasionally with the reserved marinade. For medium-rare, aim for an internal temperature of 130-135°F (55-57°C). |
| 6 | Once cooked to your liking, transfer the steak to a cutting board and let it rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing. This allows the juices to redistribute and ensures a juicy steak. |
| 7 | Slice the steak across the grain into thin strips. Serve the sliced steak drizzled with the warm marinade sauce and alongside your favorite side dishes. Enjoy your delicious Ginger Soy Flank Steak! |
