Backyard Flank Steak Teriyaki image

This sweet-and-salty steak comes from the writer Jeff Gordinier's mother, who cooked it on a grill on their patio in California, under the grapefruit tree, after having soaked for hours in her teriyaki marinade. But marinated flank steak is such a foolproof crowd-pleaser that it can translate to any American topography. Serve in high summer as the sun goes down and the temperature drops.

Time 20m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 cup vegetable oil
1/3 cup soy sauce
1/3 cup brown sugar
1 garlic clove
1 teaspoon minced fresh ginger
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1 flank steak, about 1 1/2 pounds

Steps:

  • Whisk together the oil, soy sauce, brown sugar, garlic, ginger and pepper in a large bowl. With the tip of a knife, lightly score the surface of the steak in a crisscross pattern. Immerse the steak in the marinade and refrigerate for several hours, turning it over now and then.
  • Prepare a grill. When it is hot, place the steak on the grill, shaking off excess marinade first. Cook roughly 4 minutes on each side for medium rare. Let the steak rest for a few minutes, then slice it thinly, on the diagonal.
