Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 pounds flank steak
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons sesame oil
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon grated ginger
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon sesame seeds

Directions

  1. In a bowl, whisk together soy sauce, sesame oil, minced garlic, grated ginger, brown sugar, rice vinegar, and sesame seeds.

  3. Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Remove the steak from the marinade, allowing any excess marinade to drip off.
  4. Grill the steak for about 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare or until desired doneness. Cooking time may vary depending on the thickness of the steak.
  5. Once cooked, transfer the steak to a cutting board and let it rest for a few minutes. Then, thinly slice the steak against the grain.
