Asian Flat Iron Steak

Hi everyone!

Tomorrow we are having Asian Flat Iron Steaks for dinner.  I will serve this over rice with a green salad.

Asian Flat Iron Steak
Michelle (AGMmom)

One 1 to 1/2 pound flat iron steak (or flank steak)
1/2 c soy sauce
1/4 c lemon juice
1/4 cup minced onion
1/4 c packed brown sugar
2 T sesame oil
1 T fresh ginger (I used about 1 1/2 t ground)
1 T minced garlic
1 t red pepper flakes (optional)


Place steak in a resealable bag. Add all ingredients. Seal bag and turn to coat evenly. Refrigerate 1 to 24 hours, turning bag occasionally. Preheat grill to medium-high heat. Remove steak from bag, reserving marinade. Grill for 10-15 minutes, or to the degree of doneness you like (medium rare is 135 F). Turn once halfway through grilling. meanwhile, bring marinade to a boil, then simmer over medium heat until reduced by half. Keep warm. Let steak stand 5 minutes before slicing. Slice in thin pieces across the grain. Drizzle with the marinade.

Asian Flat Iron Steak - This was excellent! I went with the flank steak because it's the perfect size for my family of 4 (they eat a lot of meat). I dumped everything in a ziploc bag along with the steak this morning and let it marinate about 8 hours. Throughout the day I kept massaging the marinade into the steak. My husband, who hates any food with "Asian" in the title, said it was really good. That is huge! I will make this again. The only changes I made were I used dried minced onion and I didn't save the marinade, it had plenty of flavor on its own.
