Instructions

PREP

  • Wash and then dry all produce/meats.
  • Thinly slice the green onions.
  • Peel the garlic clove and cut off the dry stem ends. Then mince.
  • Peel and then grate the ginger.

MARINATE

  • Transfer flank steak to either a medium mixing bowl or a gallon freezer bag.
  • In the same container of choice, add soy sauce, honey, red wine vinegar, sliced green onions, minced garlic, grated ginger, and olive oil.
  • Mix until well combined.
  • Marinate in the refrigerator for 24 hours.
  • When ready to cook, save the marinade to create the sauce.

LET’S COOK

  • Preheat grill to 450 degrees (F). Remove flank steak and place on preheated grill.
  • Cook steak for 4 minutes on one side and flip.
  • Cook other side for 8 minutes for medium rare or 10 minutes for medium. Internal temperature should be 135F for medium rare, 145 F for medium. When in doubt, follow the FDA internal temperature guideline.
  • When done, remove from grill and allow meat to rest for 10 minutes before slicing. Slice steak diagonally against the grain of meat, to avoid a tough cut.
  • Take remaining marinade and in a small saucepan over low heat, simmer for 10 minutes. Once sauce has thickened, turn off heat.
  • Best served with white rice and topped with a drizzle of the homemade sauce.
  • Enjoy!
