Equipment

  • grill
  • medium bowl
  • gallon-sized plastic bag

Ingredients
  

Marinade

  • 0.25 cup Soy Sauce
  • 2 tablespoons Gochujang Chili Sauce
  • 1 tablespoon Ginger Paste
  • 1 tablespoon Garlic Paste
  • 1 tablespoon Brown Sugar
  • 1 tablespoon Sesame Oil

Main

  • 1 pound Flank Steak

Garnishes and Dipping Sauce

  • 2 tablespoons Sesame Seeds
  • 2 tablespoons Chopped Green Onions
  • 2 tablespoons Soy Sauce for dipping sauce
  • 2 tablespoons Gochujang for dipping sauce

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • In a medium bowl, whisk together soy sauce, gochujang chili sauce, ginger paste, garlic paste, brown sugar, and sesame oil until well combined to create the marinade.
  • Place the flank steak in a dish or a large gallon-sized plastic bag. Pour ¾ of the prepared marinade over the steak, ensuring it is evenly coated, and reserve the remaining marinade for basting and dipping sauce.
  • Let the steak marinate for at least 1 hour or preferably overnight in the refrigerator to enhance flavor penetration.
  • Heat your grill or Blackstone griddle to medium to medium-high heat to prepare for cooking.
  • Place the marinated flank steak on the grill and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side to reach medium doneness, brushing occasionally with the reserved marinade for added flavor and moisture.
  • Once cooked, allow the steak to rest for a few minutes to let juices redistribute.
  • Slice the flank steak thinly against the grain to maximize tenderness.
  • Arrange the sliced steak on a plate, sprinkle with sesame seeds and chopped green onions, and drizzle with the optional dipping sauce made by mixing the reserved soy sauce and gochujang.

Notes

Marinate overnight for deeper flavor infusion. Adjust gochujang quantity to modify heat level according to your preference. Resting steak before slicing ensures juicier meat. Slice against the grain to maximize tenderness. If you don’t have a grill, a hot cast iron skillet or griddle can be used as an alternative.
