Steps:
- Score the flank steak the diagonally on both sides. Cut the steak across the grain (this is also usually on the diagonal) into strips about 3 inches wide. Once all tenderizing cuts have been made, cut into serving sized pieces still large enough to grill.
- Mix vegetable oil and sugar together in gallon sized Ziplok bag. Add flank steak and soak for 20 minutes (this tenderizes the meat).
- Meanwhile mix remaining ingredients as marinade. Add mix to steak in bag and refrigerate for 4 hours, turning occassionally. Grill over hot fire about 2 minutes per side.

Steps:

Tips:
- Choose the right cut of steak: A good marinade can help tenderize a tough cut of steak, but it's important to start with a cut that is naturally tender. Some good choices for Korean steak marinade include ribeye, strip loin, and flank steak.
- Slice the steak against the grain: This will help the marinade penetrate the steak more easily and make it more tender.
- Use a flavorful marinade: The marinade is what gives Korean steak its unique flavor, so it's important to use a flavorful combination of ingredients. Some common ingredients in Korean steak marinade include soy sauce, garlic, ginger, sesame oil, and gochujang (Korean chili paste).
- Marinate the steak for at least 30 minutes: The longer you marinate the steak, the more flavor it will absorb. However, don't marinate the steak for more than 24 hours, or it will start to break down.
- Cook the steak over high heat: This will help to caramelize the outside of the steak and create a delicious crust. If you're using a grill, cook the steak over direct heat for 3-4 minutes per side, or until it reaches your desired doneness.
Conclusion:
Korean steak marinade is a delicious and easy way to add flavor to your next steak dinner. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a marinade that will tenderize and flavor your steak perfectly. So next time you're looking for a new way to cook steak, give Korean steak marinade a try.
