Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Step 1: In a bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup soy sauce, 2 tbsp sesame oil, 1 tbsp brown sugar, 1 tbsp grated fresh ginger, 3 cloves minced garlic, and 1 tbsp rice vinegar to create a marinade. Add 1 lb thinly sliced flank steak and toss to coat. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour.
  2. Step 2: Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat and brush with 2 tbsp vegetable oil.
  3. Step 3: Remove beef from marinade, shaking off excess, and grill slices for 1-2 minutes per side until just cooked and caramelized. Set aside and keep warm.
  4. Step 4: Grill 1 large julienned carrot, 2 halved baby bok choy heads, and 6 oz sliced shiitake mushrooms for 3-4 minutes until tender but still crisp.
  5. Step 5: Arrange the grilled beef and vegetables on a platter, garnish with 3 sliced scallions and 1 tbsp toasted sesame seeds.
  6. Step 6: Serve with chili garlic sauce on the side for an extra kick, allowing guests to dip or drizzle as they prefer.

How do I store leftover Hot Pot-Style Marinated Beef and Vegetable Grill?

Cool to room temperature within 2 hours, then store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. Reheat covered in a 350°F oven for 10-12 minutes, or microwave at 70% power in 60-second bursts to keep soy sauce from drying out.

Can I substitute ingredients in Hot Pot-Style Marinated Beef and Vegetable Grill?

Yes — most ingredients in this recipe have flexible swaps. For oil, use any neutral high-smoke-point oil (avocado, grapeseed, refined coconut).

How do I scale Hot Pot-Style Marinated Beef and Vegetable Grill for a different number of people?

The recipe is written for 4 servings. Multiply each ingredient by (your serving target / 4). Cook time stays roughly the same up to 2x; for 3-4x batches, switch from a skillet to a sheet pan or stockpot so the food isn't crowded — overcrowding steams instead of browns.
