For an extra layer of flavor, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the marinade. If you don't have time to marinate overnight, a minimum of 4 hours will still provide good flavor and tenderization. Be careful not to overcook the steak under the broiler, as it can become tough. Keep a close eye on it and adjust the cooking time as needed.

Follow The Directions
01
StepIn a small bowl, whisk together the vegetable oil, soy sauce, water, brown sugar, ginger, garlic, and black pepper until well combined. (5 minutes)
02
StepUsing a sharp knife, score the flank steak on both sides in a crosshatch pattern, being careful not to cut all the way through the meat. This will help the marinade penetrate and tenderize the steak. (10 minutes)
03
StepPlace the flank steak in a shallow dish or resealable plastic bag. Pour the marinade over the steak, ensuring it is fully coated. Cover the dish or seal the bag, and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, turning the steak occasionally to ensure even marination. (4 hours - overnight)
04
StepPosition an oven rack approximately 6 inches from the broiler and preheat the broiler to high. Remove the steak from the marinade, reserving the marinade for basting. Place the steak on a broiler pan or baking sheet. (2 minutes)
05
StepBroil the steak, basting occasionally with the reserved marinade, until it is nicely browned and cooked to your desired level of doneness, about 5-7 minutes per side for medium-rare. Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature; for medium-rare, aim for 130-135°F. (10-14 minutes)
06
StepTransfer the broiled flank steak to a cutting board and tent loosely with aluminum foil. Let it rest for at least 5 minutes before slicing. This allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in a more tender and flavorful steak. (5 minutes)
07
StepSlice the flank steak thinly against the grain into 1- to 2-inch strips. Serve immediately and enjoy!
