Asian Flank Steak Marinade Recipes

ASIAN CHIMICHURRI STEAK | FOOLPROOF ASIAN FLANK STEAK MARINADE

Steps:

• Place the flank steak into a large ziplock bag. Mix together the ingredients for the Asian steak marinade and add it to the flank steak. Using the plastic bag, massage the steak and make sure the marinade evenly covers the steak. Let the flank steak marinate in the fridge for at least 6 hours. Overnight is recommended.
• Take the flank steak out of the fridge and let it come to room temperature as this ensures even cooking. Add clarified butter to a pan and heat over medium high heat until it just barely starts to smoke. Remove the steak from the bag, drip off the excess, and lay it flat on your hot pan.
• For medium rare steak: Leave the steak to sear on one side for about 6 - 7 minutes for a 1 inch thick steak. Then flip it over and leave it to sear on the other side for another 6 - 7 minutes. If using a meat thermometer, check that the internal temperature of your steak is 130° which will get you a medium rare done steak. Adjust the cooking time according to how you like your steak.
• Place the steak on a plate, loosely cover with foil, and let it rest for 5 - 6 minutes to let the juices redistribute into the meat. Serve the flank steak with spicy Asian chimichurri sauce.

MONGOLIAN BEEF

Steps:

• Combine the sliced beef with 1 teaspoon oil, 1 teaspoon soy sauce, and 1 tablespoon cornstarch. Marinate for 1 hour. The beef should still be quite moist after it has marinated. If it looks too dry, add a tablespoon of water to it.
• Next, dredge the marinated beef slices in the remaining 1/4 cup of cornstarch until lightly coated.
• In a small bowl, mix brown sugar and hot water (or low sodium chicken or beef stock) until the sugar is dissolved. Mix in 1/4 cup low sodium soy sauce. If you don't have low sodium soy sauce, substitute 2 1/2 tablespoons regular soy sauce and 1 1/2 tablespoons water. The saltiness of various soy sauce brands varies, so give the sauce a taste, and adjust the amounts of sugar/soy sauce/water/stock to your own taste.
• Heat 1/3 cup vegetable oil in the wok over high heat. Just before the oil starts to smoke, spread the flank steak pieces evenly in the wok, and sear for 1 minute (depending upon the heat of your wok). Turn over and let the other side sear for another 30 seconds. Remove to a sheet pan. Tilt it slightly to let the oil drain to one side (lean it on a cookbook or cutting board). The beef should be seared with a crusty coating.
• Drain the oil from the wok, leaving 1 tablespoon behind, and turn the heat to medium-high. Add the ginger and dried chili peppers, if using. After about 15 seconds, add the garlic. Stir for another 10 seconds and add the premixed sauce.
• Let the sauce simmer for about 2 minutes and slowly stir in the cornstarch slurry mixture. Cook until the sauce has thickened enough to coat the back of a spoon.
• Add the beef and scallions and toss everything together for another 30 seconds. There should be almost no liquid, as the sauce should be clinging to the beef. If you still have sauce, increase the heat slightly and stir until thickened. Plate and serve with steamed rice!
