Korean Style Flank Steak
I loved the marinated Korean-style pork tenderloin I made recently, and thought it would also be a great marinade with flank steak. We all thought it tasted terrific, and the garlic and the ginger really gave the marinade a zing. This delicious & juicy Korean flank steak recipe paired nicely with garlic rice, stir-fried spicy asparagus, and a Korean cucumber salad.
Korean Style Flank Steak
Ingredients:
- 1½ lbs. of flank steak
- ¼ cup of soy sauce
- 2 tbsp rice vinegar
- 1 tbsp toasted sesame oil
- 1 tbsp brown sugar
- 1 tbsp fresh ginger root, minced
- 3 cloves of garlic, minced
- ¼ tsp crushed red pepper flakes
How to Make Korean Style Flank Steak:
Make the marinade by combining the soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, brown sugar, ginger root, minced garlic, and crushed red pepper flakes in a zip-lock bag. Add the flank steak, squish it around until evenly coated, and refrigerate for 1-24 hours.
20 minutes before cooking, remove it from the fridge, remove the steak from the marinade & place it on a few paper towels to dry off the liquid.
Cook the flank steak by heating a grill pan coated with olive oil cooking spray over medium-high heat.
Add the flank steak and cook for 4-5 minutes per side until reaching your desired degree of doneness. Remove from the grill to a cutting board.
Let the steak rest for at least 5 minutes before slicing thinly against the grain. Serve and enjoy.
