Tips for Making Korean Marinated Flank Steak:

Use high-quality flank steak: Look for flank steak that is a deep red color with good marbling. This will ensure that the steak is tender and flavorful.
Marinate the steak for at least 4 hours or overnight: This will allow the flavors of the marinade to penetrate the steak and tenderize it.
Use a flavorful marinade: The marinade is what gives Korean marinated flank steak its signature flavor. Be sure to use a marinade that is packed with flavor, such as the one in this recipe.
Cook the steak over high heat: This will quickly sear the steak and lock in the juices.
Rest the steak before slicing: This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the steak, resulting in a more tender and flavorful steak.
