Soy Marinated Flank Steak

Course Main Course

Ingredients
  

For the Steak:

  • 1 lb flank steak

For the Marinade:

  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tbsp brown sugar
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1/2 tsp fish sauce
  • 1 tsp ginger, freshly grated or powdered (optional)
  • 1 tbsp sesame oil

Instructions
 

For the Steak:

  • Slice the flank steak into thin cuts. You can also make thicker cuts, then use a meat tenderizer to ensure they cook easily
  • Set aside while you prepare the marinade

For the Marinade:

  • In a small bowl, combine the soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, brown sugar, garlic powder, onion powder, fish sauce, ginger, and sesame oil
  • Pour this over the steak and let it sit in the fridge for 30 minutes. You can also place the pieces of steak in a Ziploc bag and pour the marinade inside. Massage the bag for more intense flavors
  • Remove the steak from the marinade and shake out the excess liquids
  • Cook the steaks on the grill or on a skillet. You can also broil them if you wish
  • Cook until the desired doneness is achieved. If you’re new to this method of cooking, make sure you check the internal temperature using a meat thermometer to know if your steaks are done
  • Remove from the heat source, rest for 5-10 minutes, then serve. Enjoy!

Notes

Substitutions:
  • Use tamari sauce instead of soy sauce. Tamari has little to no wheat, making it a lighter option.
  • Switch brown sugar with honey or other sugarless substitutes if you’re looking for healthier options
