Time 40m

Yield 4-6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

Ingredients

1 3/4 to 2 pounds skirt steak, trimmed and cut crosswise into 4-inch pieces
3 tablespoons sesame seeds
4 cloves garlic, smashed
1 cup cola
1/4 cup soy sauce
1/4 cup packed dark brown sugar
1/4 cup toasted sesame oil
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
1 large white onion, cut into 2-inch-thick wedges
6 to 8 slices thick-cut bacon
2 to 3 banana or Cubanelle peppers

Steps:

Pierce the steak a few times with a fork. Toast the sesame seeds in a skillet over medium heat until golden, shaking the pan, 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer to a plate to cool.
Combine the sesame seeds, garlic, cola, soy sauce, brown sugar, sesame oil, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper in a large bowl, stirring to dissolve the sugar. Add the steak, onion wedges and bacon, turning to coat. Cover and refrigerate 4 hours or overnight.
Remove the steak and onion wedges from the marinade with a slotted spoon and transfer to a baking sheet. Heat a grill pan over high heat. Grill the onion wedges and peppers, turning, until charred, 8 to 10 minutes. Transfer to a platter. Grill the steak until charred, 4 to 5 minutes per side for medium rare. Add to the platter.

Time 2h40m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 7

Ingredients

1/2 cup reduced-sodium soy sauce
1/2 cup rice vinegar
1 tablespoon finely chopped gingerroot
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
6 medium green onions, sliced (6 tablespoons)
4 cloves garlic, crushed
1 boneless beef sirloin steak, 1 1/2 inches thick (2 1/4 lb)

Steps:

In large resealable food-storage plastic bag, mix all ingredients except beef.
Score beef crosswise by making cuts 1/2 inch apart and 1/4 inch deep (beef will absorb more of the marinade and cook more evenly). Place beef in bag; seal bag and turn to coat. Refrigerate 2 hours to marinate, turning bag once after 1 hour.
Heat gas or charcoal grill. Remove beef from marinade; reserve marinade in 1-quart saucepan. Pat beef dry with paper towel. Place beef on grill over medium heat. Cover grill; cook 10 minutes. Turn beef; cover grill and cook 10 to 15 minutes longer for medium-rare (145°F). Cook 2 minutes longer for medium (160°F).
Meanwhile, heat reserved marinade to boiling over medium-high heat; boil 3 minutes, stirring frequently. Remove and discard garlic.
To serve, cut beef into slices; spoon sauce over beef.

KOREAN STEAK

This is a very good recipe, served with kim chee and rice! Times do not include marinating time. I mix it together before work, it seems to be plenty of time. I usually serve it with rice or use it to make an 'Oriental' salad.

KOREAN-STYLE GRILLED FLANK STEAK

Korean-Style Grilled Flank Steak image

Categories Onion Soy Quick & Easy Backyard BBQ Steak Grill/Barbecue Gourmet

Yield Makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

Ingredients

1/4 cup soy sauce
2 tablespoons rice vinegar (not seasoned)
1 tablespoon grated peeled ginger
1 garlic clove, minced
2 teaspoons Sriracha (Southeast Asian chile sauce)
2 teaspoons sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons Asian sesame oil
1 to 1 1/4 pound flank steak
2 scallions, finely chopped
2 tablespoons toasted sesame seeds
Accompaniments: white rice; soft leaf lettuce

Steps:

Stir together soy sauce, vinegar, ginger, garlic, Sriracha, sugar, and sesame oil.
Prepare a gas grill for direct-heat cooking over medium-high heat.
Oil grill rack, then grill steak, covered, turning over once, 6 to 8 minutes for medium-rare.
Transfer steak to a cutting board and drizzle with 2 tablespoons sauce, then let stand, uncovered, 5 minutes. Thinly slice steak across the grain. Serve with remaining sauce, scallions, and sesame seeds.

Tips:

Choose the right cut of steak. The best Korean steak recipes use a tender cut of beef, such as ribeye, striploin, or tenderloin. These cuts are well-marbled and have a good amount of flavor.
Marinate the steak. Marinating the steak in a mixture of soy sauce, garlic, ginger, and brown sugar helps to tenderize the meat and add flavor.
Cook the steak over high heat. Korean steak is typically cooked over high heat in a grill or frying pan. This helps to create a crispy crust on the outside of the steak while keeping the inside tender and juicy.
Slice the steak against the grain. When slicing the steak, cut against the grain to make it more tender and easier to chew.
Serve the steak with a dipping sauce. Korean steak is often served with a dipping sauce made from soy sauce, vinegar, sesame oil, and garlic.

Conclusion:

Korean steak is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. By following these tips, you can make sure that your Korean steak turns out perfect every time.
