Ingredients

• 1 pound flank steak
• 0.5 cup orange juice
• 0.25 cup soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons brown sugar
• 1 tablespoon fish sauce
• 1 tablespoon sesame oil
• 2 tablespoons lime juice
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon ginger, grated
• 0.5 teaspoon red chili flakes
• 2 scallions, sliced
• 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped
• 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Step 1

In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together orange juice, soy sauce, brown sugar, fish sauce, sesame oil, lime juice, minced garlic, grated ginger, and red chili flakes to create the marinade.

Step 2

Place the flank steak in a resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the steak, ensuring it is well coated. Seal the bag (or cover the dish) and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight.

Step 3

Remove the marinated flank steak from the refrigerator 20-30 minutes before cooking to allow it to come to room temperature.

Step 4

Preheat your grill or large skillet over medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grill grates or skillet with vegetable oil.

Step 5

Remove the steak from the marinade and pat it dry with paper towels to help it sear properly. Season both sides with a pinch of salt and black pepper.

Step 6

Cook the steak for 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare, or longer if desired. Use a meat thermometer to check doneness, aiming for 130°F (54°C) for medium-rare or 140°F (60°C) for medium.

Step 7

Transfer the cooked 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 ensure tenderness.

Step 9

Garnish with sliced scallions and chopped cilantro. Serve immediately with jasmine rice, noodles, or a crisp salad.
