Recipe is from Rachael Ray's 30-Minute Get Real Meals. I use this all the time for my flank steak and get great reviews. It also can be served with her Hot and Sour Slaw Salad. I didn't include the time for marinating. Recipe calls for 10 minutes and I usually prepare it in the morning and let it sit in the fridge till dinner time.

KOREAN FLANK STEAK



KOREAN FLANK STEAK image

Categories     Beef

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 tablespoons grill seasoning blend (recommended brand McCormick Montreal Steak Seasoning)
1/4 cup Tamari dark soy
1 tablespoons honey
1 teaspoons hot red pepper flakes
2 large cloves garlic, chopped [I usually add at least 4 cloves. More garlic = better.]
2 teaspoons toasted (dark) sesame oil, eyeball it
2 scallions, finely chopped
Vegetable oil, for drizzling plus, 2 tablespoons, twice around the pan
2 pounds flank steak

Steps:

  • In a shallow dish, combine grill seasoning, dark soy, honey, hot pepper flakes, garlic, sesame oil, scallions and a drizzle of vegetable oil. Coat the flank steak in the mixture and let it stand 10 minutes. [I find 10 minutes is perfect for the flank steak. If it sits much longer than that, you don't taste steak anymore, you only taste the marinade.] Preheat indoor electric grill [sorry, George, not this time], stove top grill pan or outdoor grill to medium high. When the grill pan or grill is screaming hot, add meat and cook 5 minutes on each side for medium rare, 7 to 8 minutes on each side for medium well doneness. To serve, let meat rest 5 minutes for juices to redistribute. Thinly slice the meat on a heavy angle against the grain (the lines in the meat).

Tips:

  • Choose the right steak: Look for a flank steak that is about 1 1/2 to 2 pounds and has a good amount of marbling. This will ensure that the steak is tender and flavorful.
  • Marinate the steak: Marinating the steak in a flavorful mixture of soy sauce, brown sugar, garlic, and ginger will help to tenderize the meat and add flavor.
  • Cook the steak over high heat: Flank steak is a relatively thin cut of meat, so it is important to cook it over high heat so that it cooks quickly and evenly. This will help to prevent the steak from becoming tough.
  • Let the steak rest before slicing: Once the steak is cooked, let it rest for a few minutes before slicing. This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in a more tender and flavorful steak.
  • Serve the steak with your favorite sides: Flank steak can be served with a variety of sides, such as rice, noodles, or vegetables. It can also be used in tacos, burritos, or sandwiches.

Conclusion:

Korean flank steak is a delicious and versatile dish that is easy to make at home. By following the tips above, you can ensure that your flank steak is tender, flavorful, and cooked to perfection. Serve it with your favorite sides and enjoy!
