PERFECT GRILLED STEAK

For juicy meat and a great crust, choose a thicker cut such as rib eye. Because this type of steak takes longer to cook, it will have time to develop a nice sear.

1 porterhouse, flank, or rib-eye steak (1 3/4 pounds and 1 1/2 inch thick)

PERFECT SOY-GRILLED STEAK



Perfect Soy-Grilled Steak image

You may think you don't have the time to marinate meat before grilling it, but it's time-consuming only if you think a marinade has to tenderize. As far as I'm concerned, there are only two goals in marinating: to add flavor and to promote browning and crispness. Neither of these requires long soaking, although dunking the meat while the grill heats contributes to a slightly greater penetration of flavor. This marinade of soy sauce, ginger, garlic, honey and lime is ideal for steak, but it works beautifully with any tender meats like burgers, boneless chicken, tuna and swordfish, all of which can be turned in the sauce before putting them on the grill. Longer-cooking meats, like bone-in chicken, should be cooked within 10 minutes of doneness before basting with the sauce.

Categories     dinner, easy, quick, weekday, steaks and chops, main course

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

1/4 cup soy sauce
1 teaspoon peeled and minced ginger
1/2 teaspoon peeled and minced garlic
1 tablespoon honey, molasses or hoisin sauce
Freshly ground black pepper to taste
Juice of 1/2 lime
1 16- to 24-ounce boneless steak (rib-eye, skirt or strip), or one 24- to 32-ounce bone-in steak (rib-eye or T-bone)

Steps:

  • Start a charcoal or wood fire or heat a gas grill; the fire should be hot and the rack no more than 4 inches from the heat source. Mix together the first 6 ingredients; taste and add more of anything you like. Turn the steak in the sauce once or twice, then let sit in the sauce until the grill is hot.
  • Turn the steak one more time, then place on the grill; spoon any remaining sauce over it. For rare meat, grill about 3 minutes a side for steaks less than an inch thick. For larger or more done steak, increase the time slightly.

Tips:

  • Choose the right flank steak: Look for a steak that is about 1 1/2 to 2 inches thick and has good marbling. This will ensure that the steak is tender and juicy.
  • Marinate the steak: Marinating the steak helps to tenderize it and add flavor. You can use a variety of marinades, but a simple one made with olive oil, garlic, and herbs is a good option.
  • Preheat your grill: Make sure your grill is preheated to high heat before you start cooking the steak. This will help to sear the steak and keep it from sticking to the grill.
  • Sear the steak: Once the grill is preheated, place the steak on the grill and sear it for 2-3 minutes per side. This will create a nice crust on the outside of the steak.
  • Reduce the heat: After you have seared the steak, reduce the heat to medium and cook the steak for an additional 5-7 minutes per side, or until it reaches your desired doneness.
  • Let the steak rest: Once the steak is cooked, let it rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving. This will help the juices to redistribute throughout the steak, making it more tender and flavorful.

Conclusion:

Grilled flank steak is a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for a weeknight dinner or a special occasion. By following these tips, you can ensure that your grilled flank steak is cooked to perfection every time.
