Tips:

  • Choose the Right Flank Steak: Opt for a well-marbled flank steak with a deep red color and no signs of gray or brown. This indicates a tender and flavorful cut.
  • Tenderize the Steak: Marinating or pounding the flank steak helps break down the tough fibers, resulting in a more tender and juicy steak. You can use a flavorful marinade like the one in this recipe, or simply season with salt and pepper and let it rest for at least 30 minutes.
  • Cook Over High Heat: Flank steak is best cooked quickly over high heat to preserve its tenderness and prevent it from becoming tough. Use a well-seasoned cast iron skillet or grill pan for the best results.
  • Don't Overcook: Flank steak is a thin cut and cooks quickly, so it's important to not overcook it. Aim for an internal temperature of 135°F for medium-rare, 145°F for medium, and 155°F for medium-well. Using a meat thermometer is the best way to ensure accurate cooking.
  • Slice Against the Grain: Once the steak is cooked, let it rest for a few minutes before slicing. Always slice against the grain to break down the muscle fibers and ensure tender, juicy slices.

This cilantro-ginger flank steak recipe offers a flavorful and versatile dish that can be enjoyed in various ways.
