Ingredients
  

Marinade
  • 1 pound Flank Steak Substitutions: skirt steak or sirloin
  • 1/4 cup Soy Sauce Low-sodium for a healthier option
  • 2 tablespoons Gochujang Chili Sauce Use less for milder heat
  • 1 tablespoon Ginger Paste Fresh ginger can be used as an alternative
  • 1 tablespoon Garlic Paste Fresh minced garlic also works
  • 2 tablespoons Brown Sugar Honey or maple syrup can be used instead
  • 1 tablespoon Sesame Oil Substitutions: toasted walnut or peanut oil
For Garnishing
  • 2 tablespoons Green Onions Substitutes: chives or shallots

Equipment

  • Grill

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together soy sauce, Gochujang chili sauce, ginger paste, garlic paste, brown sugar, and sesame oil until the sugar dissolves.
  2. Place the flank steak in a shallow dish or resealable plastic bag and pour in about three-quarters of the marinade, ensuring it is completely coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, ideally overnight.
  3. Preheat your grill or Blackstone griddle to a medium-high heat (around 400°F or 200°C) about 15 minutes before grilling.
  4. Carefully place the marinated flank steak on the hot grill and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side for medium doneness, brushing with the reserved marinade.
  5. Remove the steak from the heat and let it rest for about 5 minutes before slicing thinly against the grain.
  6. Arrange the sliced steak on a platter, drizzle with dipping sauce from the remaining marinade, and garnish with sesame seeds and finely chopped green onions.

Notes

Marinate overnight for deeper flavors, watch doneness, and slice against the grain for maximum tenderness. Reserve some marinade for serving and garnish generously with fresh toppings.
