Ginger Soy Flank Steak Recipes

SOY-GINGER FLANK STEAK

Steps:

• Preheat the broiler, and if you have an adjustable rack, make sure it is as close to the flame as it can get.
• In a small saucepan, heat the oil over medium heat. Add the ginger and garlic and stir until you can really smell everything and the garlic turns golden, about 3 minutes. Add the soy sauce, brown sugar and crushed red pepper, if using, raise the heat to medium-high and simmer until slightly reduced and syrupy, stirring occasionally, about 5 minutes. Set aside to cool for 5 minutes.
• Season the steak lightly with pepper. Brush the top side of the steak with the soy glaze, then broil the steak for 4 minutes. Flip the steak with tongs, then brush the top the glaze and broil until it is done to your liking (see above!), about 4 more minutes. Remove the steak to a cutting board and let sit for 5 minutes. Meanwhile, reheat the rest of the soy glaze over low heat for at least 4 minutes.
• Thinly slice the steak and brush the slices with some of the reserved soy glaze. Transfer to a platter, and scatter the scallions, if using, over the sliced steak. Toss the lime wedges on the edge of the platter and let everyone squeeze one (if they like) over their steak. Put the rest of the heated soy glaze in a small pitcher or bowl to serve at the table (drizzle over the rice).

• Combine soy sauce and honey in a small glass bowl.
• Whisk until blended.
• Stir in garlic and ginger.
• Place steak in 13X9-inch pan.
• Pour marinade over meat, and turn to fully coat.
• Cover pan with lid or foil and store in refrigerator overnight.
• Turn steak at least once while marinating.
• Grill 3 to 5 minutes on each side, or until desired temperature is reached.
• Do not overcook.
• Steak should be pink in the middle.

• Drain off marinade and simmer in a saucepan for at least 5 minutes, keep warm.
• Grill or broil steak, basting occasionally with the marinade.

• While potatoes and meat cook, finely chop the scallions together with cilantro and lime zest.
• Let meat rest 5 minutes then thinly slice on an angle against the grain. Serve meat on mash potato mounds with a garnish with a generous sprinkling of the chopped scallion-cilantro-lime zest.
