Categories Beef

Number Of Ingredients 8

Ingredients

1.5 - 2 pounds of tri-tip or flank steak
1/2 cup soy sauce
2 tbsp sugar
2 tbsp fresh grated ginger
2 tbsp rice vinegar
1 tbsp sesame oil
4 cloves garlic crushed
black pepper to taste

Steps:

Combine all the ingredients in a plastic zip bag and marinade for however long you want. You can freeze it at this point. To cook, grill or broil it to desired doneness.

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.
