G's Flank Steak Marinade

Recipe View 5 mins In a shallow dish or resealable bag, whisk together the soy sauce, brown sugar, lemon juice, olive oil, minced garlic, minced onion, ground ginger, and black pepper. (5 minutes)

Recipe View 6 hrs Add the flank steak to the marinade, ensuring it's fully coated. Cover the dish or seal the bag, removing any excess air. Refrigerate for at least 6 hours, or preferably overnight (12-24 hours), for maximum flavor penetration. The longer it marinates, the more tender the steak will become. (Marinating: 6+ hours)

Recipe View 25 mins When ready to cook, remove the steak from the refrigerator and let it sit at room temperature for 20-30 minutes to ensure even cooking. (20-30 minutes)

Recipe View 5 mins Preheat your grill to high heat. If grilling indoors, preheat a cast-iron skillet over high heat until it's smoking hot. Lightly oil the grill grate or skillet to prevent sticking. (5 minutes)

Recipe View 9 mins Grill or sear the flank steak for 3-4 minutes per side for medium-rare, or 5-6 minutes per side for medium. Use a meat thermometer to check for desired doneness. The internal temperature should reach 130-135°F for medium-rare and 140-145°F for medium. (6-12 minutes)

Recipe View 10 mins Once cooked, transfer the steak to a cutting board and let it rest for at least 10 minutes before slicing against the grain. This allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in a more tender and flavorful steak. (10 minutes)

Recipe View Slice the flank steak thinly against the grain and serve immediately. Garnish with fresh herbs, such as parsley or cilantro, if desired.
