A delightful recipe for a savory and tangy grilled flank steak, perfect for a flavorful dinner.
In a mixing bowl, combine the soy sauce, brown sugar, minced garlic, grated ginger, chopped scallions, and sesame seeds.
Mix the marinade thoroughly to ensure all ingredients are well combined for even flavor distribution.
Place the flank steak in a resealable freezer bag and pour the marinade over it. Seal the bag and massage gently to coat the steak evenly.
Marinating the steak in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours enhances the flavor.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
Ensure the grill is properly preheated to achieve a good sear on the steak.
Remove the steak from the marinade, letting the excess drip off, and place it on the grill. Cook for about 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare doneness.
Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature of the steak for your desired doneness.
While the steak is cooking, pour the remaining marinade into a small saucepan and bring it to a boil. Simmer for 5 minutes to create a glaze.
Boiling the marinade ensures it's safe to use as a glaze.
Once the steak is cooked, remove it from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
Resting the steak allows the juices to redistribute, making it more tender.
Slice the steak thinly against the grain and serve with the prepared glaze drizzled on top.
Slicing against the grain shortens the muscle fibers, making the steak easier to chew.
