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

Equipment

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
