KOREAN BARBECUED FLANK STEAK



Korean Barbecued Flank Steak image

Recipe is from Rachael Ray's 30-Minute Get Real Meals. I use this all the time for my flank steak and get great reviews. It also can be served with her Hot and Sour Slaw Salad. I didn't include the time for marinating. Recipe calls for 10 minutes and I usually prepare it in the morning and let it sit in the fridge till dinner time.

Time 15m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 tablespoon grill seasoning, such as McCormick's Montreal Steak Seasoning
1/4 cup tamari, dark soy sauce (regular works also)
1 tablespoon honey
1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
2 large garlic cloves, minced
2 teaspoons dark sesame oil
2 scallions, finely chopped
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 lbs flank steaks

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.).

Simple marinade for flank steak or other meat. It is great served with sauted onions and mushrooms, baked potatoes, and a green salad. (Bon Appetit, May 1984)

Provided by ellie_

Categories     < 30 Mins

Time 20m

Yield 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

3/4 cup vegetable oil
1/4 cup soy sauce
3 tablespoons honey
2 tablespoons cider vinegar
1 tablespoon minced onion
1 1/2 teaspoons ground ginger
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 1/2 lbs flank steaks

Steps:

  • For marinade: mix all ingredients in processor or blender.
  • Place steak in baking dish and pour marinade over.
  • Cover and chill overnight, turning once.
  • Prepare barbecue grill or preheat broiler.
  • Cook steak 5 minutes on each side.
  • Serve hot.

Tips:

  • Use a flank steak that is at least 1 inch thick. This will help to ensure that the steak is cooked evenly and remains juicy.
  • Marinate the steak for at least 30 minutes, but no longer than 24 hours. This will help to tenderize the steak and infuse it with flavor.
  • Cook the steak over high heat for a short period of time. This will help to create a nice crust on the outside of the steak while keeping the inside juicy and tender.
  • Let the steak rest for a few minutes before slicing and serving. This will help to redistribute the juices throughout the steak and make it more tender.
  • Serve the steak with your favorite sides, such as grilled vegetables, roasted potatoes, or mashed potatoes.

Conclusion:

Barbecued flank steak is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a summer cookout. By following these tips, you can cook a perfect flank steak every time.
