Instructions

Step 1: In a bowl, whisk together 1/3 cup soy sauce, 2 tbsp grated fresh ginger, 4 cloves minced garlic, 2 tbsp brown sugar, 1 tbsp sesame oil, 1 tbsp rice vinegar, and 1/2 tsp freshly ground black pepper until sugar dissolves.
Step 2: Place 1 lb flank steak in a resealable plastic bag or shallow dish. Pour marinade over the steak, ensuring it is fully coated. Marinate in refrigerator for at least 2 hours or overnight for maximum flavor.
Step 3: Preheat grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F). Remove steak from marinade and pat dry with paper towels to prevent flare-ups.
Step 4: Grill the flank steak for 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare doneness, or longer to desired doneness, until the internal temperature reaches 130°F for medium-rare.
Step 5: Transfer steak to a cutting board and let rest for 5 minutes to allow juices to redistribute.
Step 6: Slice steak thinly against the grain and garnish with 2 sliced green onions before serving.
