Preparation

Step 1

For the Simple Version:
Combine the grated onion, soy sauce, brown sugar, garlic, sesame oil, rice wine vinegar, ginger, and scallions and whisk to combine.

Add the flank steak and marinate for a minimum of 30 minutes but preferably over night. Cover with plastic wrap and keep in the fridge. Pull out of the fridge 30 minutes prior to use.

Scrape off the aromatics and drizzle the steak with oil. Place a cast-iron pan on medium-high. Carefully lay the flank steak in the pan and sear until deep brown, about 3 to 4 minutes per side. Remove to a cutting board and let rest at least 10 minutes. Slice thinly across the grain and serve with a sprinkling of sliced green scallions.
