Overnight-Marinated Flank Steak

Ingredients

  • 2 lbs flank steak
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 1/4 cup red wine vinegar
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, mix together the soy sauce, olive oil, red wine vinegar, minced garlic, brown sugar, black pepper, grated ginger, and sesame oil.
  2. Place the flank steak in a resealable bag or shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the steak, making sure it is well coated.
  3. Seal the bag (or cover the dish) and refrigerate for at least 8 hours or overnight for best results.
  4. When ready to cook, preheat your grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Remove the steak from the marinade and discard the leftover marinade.
  5. Cook the steak for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until it reaches your desired level of doneness. For medium-rare, aim for an internal temperature of about 130°F (54°C).
  6. Once cooked, let the steak rest for 5 minutes before slicing. This allows the juices to redistribute and makes for a juicier steak.
  7. Slice the steak thinly against the grain and serve it warm. Enjoy with your choice of sides!
