Sweet and Tangy Flank Steak

 Sweet and Tangy Flank Steak
I have been making the marinated flank steak for a while now. it is really really good.

    * 1/3 cup reduced sodium soy sauce
    * 1/3 cup packed brown sugar
    * 1/4 cup sliced scallion, white and green parts
    * 1 tablespoon sesame oil
    * 1 tablespoon sesame seed
    * 2 teaspoons garlic, minced
    * 1-1 1/2 teaspoon gingerroot, minced
    * 1/4 teaspoon chili pepper flakes
    * 1 teaspoon chili oil
    * 2 lbs flank steaks


   1. Mix together all ingredients except steak together in a bowl. Fold steak into thirds, placing outer edges towards the center. Place steak into a resealable freezer bag. Add marinade and squish around so that all of the steak surface is covered. Place into a second bag, seal and label.
   2. Freeze steak for up to 2 month. To prepare, remove 2 days ahead and defrost in the fridge.
   3. To prepare, pre-heat grill or broiler. Remove steak from bag and pour sauce into a small sauce pan. Bring sauce to a boil and simmer for 5 minutes.
   4. Grill or broil steak for 5 minutes per side or until steak reaches 135 degrees. Remove steak from heat and allow to rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
   5. To serve, thinly slice steak across the grain and spoon a bit of sauce on top.
   6. (if you are not preparing this as a make ahead meal, marinade meat for 2 to 4 hours before cooking.).

That sounds awesome. Thanks for sharing!

Sounds great.  I really like re-using the marinade as a sauce - I do that a lot, adding mushrooms usually.
