A flavorful and tender flank steak marinated in a savory-sweet teriyaki sauce, then grilled or seared to perfection. This dish delivers bold umami flavor with a glossy, satisfying finish.

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 pounds flank steak
  • 1/2 cup soy sauce
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch (optional, for thickening)
  • 2 tablespoons water (if using cornstarch)
  • 2 green onions, sliced
  • 1 tablespoon sesame seeds

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, whisk together soy sauce, brown sugar, honey, rice vinegar, garlic, ginger, and sesame oil until well combined.
  2. Place the flank steak in a shallow dish or resealable bag and pour the marinade over it. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, preferably 4 to 8 hours.
  3. Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat.
  4. Remove the steak from the marinade, allowing excess to drip off.
  5. Cook the steak for 4 to 6 minutes per side, depending on thickness and desired doneness.
  6. Remove the steak and let it rest for 5 to 10 minutes before slicing thinly against the grain.
  7. If desired, pour the leftover marinade into a saucepan, bring to a boil, then simmer. Mix cornstarch with water and stir in to thicken the sauce.
  8. Drizzle the sauce over the sliced steak and garnish with green onions and sesame seeds.
  9. Serve warm.

Notes

  • Marinate longer for deeper flavor and tenderness.
  • Substitute flank steak with skirt steak or sirloin if desired.
  • Add pineapple juice for a sweeter, tropical twist.
  • Include red pepper flakes or sriracha for a spicy kick.
  • Always boil leftover marinade before using as a sauce.
