It's a good idea to place the plastic bag holding the steak and marinade on a rimmed baking sheet or in a baking dish, in case of any leaks.This recipe is one of our Better Basics: 10 New Takes on Family Favorites, see the others.

Time 1h30m

Number Of Ingredients 9

1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1/4 cup soy sauce
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice (from 2 lemons)
2 tablespoons packed light-brown sugar
2 cloves garlic, smashed
1 1/2 pounds flank steak
1/2 bunch arugula (about 2 ounces), leaves torn if large
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
Lemon wedges, for serving

Steps:

  • Whisk together oil, soy sauce, lemon juice, brown sugar, and garlic in a bowl. Place flank steak inside a gallon-size resealable plastic bag. Add marinade, press out excess air, and seal. Let stand, turning bag occasionally, at least 1 hour at room temperature, or up to 6 hours in refrigerator (if refrigerating, let come to room temperature before grilling).
  • Heat grill to medium-high. Remove meat from marinade, reserving marinade, and pat off excess with paper towels. Grill, uncovered, turning once, until a thermometer inserted into thickest part registers 130 degrees for medium-rare, about 5 minutes on each side. Transfer to a cutting board and let stand 10 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, transfer marinade to a small saucepan and bring to a boil. Remove from heat.
  • Slice meat against the grain and arrange on a platter. Arrange arugula on top; season with salt and pepper. Drizzle 1 to 2 tablespoons sauce over meat and arugula. Serve with remaining sauce and lemon wedges.

Meh. The recipe was easy enough to follow, but the end result was just okay. The steak was a little dry, and the marinade didn't add much flavor. The arugula was the best part of the dish.

Good, but not great. The steak was a little tough, and the marinade didn't quite penetrate all the way through. The arugula was a nice touch, though.

This recipe was an absolute delight! The flank steak was incredibly tender and flavorful, and the soy-lemon marinade gave it a wonderfully tangy taste. The arugula added a nice peppery kick, and the whole dish came together beautifully. I'll definite
