Preparation

Step 1

In a shallow bowl, combine soy sauce, brown sugar, lemon juice, olive oil, garlic, onion, ginger, and pepper.

Place flank steak in a large plastic zipper bag, pour marinade over, zip and refrigerate for at least 8 hours (if possible, two days is ideal), turning occasionally to keep the marinade well distributed.

Heat an outdoor grill to hot. Grill steak for 7 to 8 minutes per side to no more than medium or 145 F on a quality instant-read thermometer (please, no more well done than medium, or you will be disappointed).

To serve, slice thinly against the grain on the diagonal. Serves 6.
