Korean Flank Steak Recipes

EASY KOREAN FLANK STEAK

Steps:

• Place your steak slices in a large ziplock bag (I used gallon sized)
• Add all the marinade ingredients to the bag along with the steak
• Seal the bag, mix together thoroughly, and let sit in your fridge for at least 1 hour
• When ready, heat a large skillet or wok over medium high - high heat (your pan needs to be hot so the steak can get a good, hard sear in a short amount of time)
• Add a bit of vegetable oil and cook your steak in batches. Do not overcrowd your steak or it won't brown. Cook it kind of like you do bacon slices
• Your pan should be hot enough and your steak slices should be thin enough that you only need a minute or two per side - it cooks very quickly
• When all your steak is cooked, garnish with sesame seeds and green onions and serve!

KOREAN MARINATED FLANK STEAK

Steps:

• Place garlic, ginger, and onion in the bowl of a blender. Add soy sauce, sesame oil, Worcestershire sauce, meat tenderizer, and sugar. Puree until smooth.
• Pour the marinade into a resealable plastic bag or glass bowl. Score the flank steak and place into the marinade. Marinate overnight in the refrigerator.
• Preheat a grill for medium-high heat.
• Grill steak on preheated grill to desired doneness, about 7 minutes per side for medium.

KOREAN-STYLE GRILLED FLANK STEAK

Steps:

• Stir together soy sauce, vinegar, ginger, garlic, Sriracha, sugar, and sesame oil.
• Prepare a gas grill for direct-heat cooking over medium-high heat.
• Oil grill rack, then grill steak, covered, turning over once, 6 to 8 minutes for medium-rare.
• Transfer steak to a cutting board and drizzle with 2 tablespoons sauce, then let stand, uncovered, 5 minutes. Thinly slice steak across the grain. Serve with remaining sauce, scallions, and sesame seeds.

KOREAN BARBECUED FLANK STEAK ON HOT AND SOUR SLAW SALAD

Steps:

• In a shallow dish, combine grill seasoning, dark soy, a tablespoon honey, 1 teaspoon of the hot pepper flakes, half of the chopped garlic, sesame oil, scallions and a drizzle of vegetable oil. Coat the flank steak in the mixture and let it stand 10 minutes.
• Preheat indoor electric grill, stove top grill pan or outdoor grill to medium high. When the grill pan or grill is screaming hot, add meat and cook 5 minutes on each side for medium rare, 7 to 8 minutes on each side for medium well doneness.
• Heat a large skillet over high heat. Add 2 tablespoons vegetable oil, cabbage and peppers. Season with salt and stir fry 2 or 3 minutes. Add a drizzle of honey, about 1 tablespoon, hot pepper flakes and garlic and toss to combine with cabbage. Add sauerkraut and mix in, heating it through 1 minute. Turn off heat.
• To serve, let meat rest 5 minutes for juices to redistribute. Thinly slice the meat on a heavy angle against the grain (the lines in the meat). Pile the slaw up and top with sliced Korean steak and serve.

KOREAN BARBECUED FLANK STEAK

Steps:

• In a shallow dish (or I use a plastic ziploc bag), combine the grill seasoning, tamari, honey, red pepper flakes , garlic, sesame oil, scallions and vegetable oil. Coat the flank steak in the mixture and let it stand for 10 minutes. (I usually do this in the morning and let it sit all day in the fridge.).
• Preheat an indoor electric grill (I use a Foreman grill) or outside grill to medium high. When the grill is screaming hot, add the meat and cook for 5 minutes on each side for medium rare, 7-8 minutes on each side for medium well or to your doneness. (On my Foreman grill it takes about 6-8 minutes for our tastes.).
