Ingredients

• 2 lbs flank steak
• 0.5 cups soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons sesame oil
• 2 tablespoons honey
• 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
• 4 cloves garlic cloves, minced
• 1 tablespoon ginger, freshly grated
• 2 stalks green onions, chopped
• 0.5 teaspoons red pepper flakes
• 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
• 1 tablespoon sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, sesame oil, honey, rice vinegar, minced garlic, grated ginger, chopped green onions, red pepper flakes, and black pepper to create the marinade.

Step 2

Place the flank steak in a large resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the steak, ensuring it is fully coated.

Step 3

Seal the bag or cover the dish with plastic wrap. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to penetrate the meat.

Step 4

Preheat your grill or broiler to high heat (about 450-500°F). Lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.

Step 5

Remove the steak from the marinade, letting any excess drip off, and discard the marinade.

Step 6

Grill or broil the steak for 5-7 minutes per side for medium-rare, or adjust cooking time according to your desired level of doneness.

Step 7

Transfer the steak to a cutting board and let it rest for 5-10 minutes to retain its juices.

Step 8

Slice the steak thinly against the grain to maximize tenderness.

Step 9

Garnish with sesame seeds if desired, and serve immediately. Enjoy with rice, noodles, or steamed vegetables!
