Instructions

1. Marinate the Flank Steak: In a large bowl or resealable plastic bag, combine soy sauce, sesame oil, rice vinegar, garlic, ginger, honey, and red pepper flakes. Add the flank steak and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or overnight for maximum flavor.

2. Prepare the Grill: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Remove the steak from the marinade and let it come to room temperature before grilling. Discard the marinade.

3. Grill the Steak: Place the flank steak on the hot grill and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or until it reaches your desired doneness.

4. Rest the Steak: Remove the steak from the grill and allow it to rest for about 5 minutes to absorb its juices.

5. Serve: Slice the steak thinly against the grain. Pair with steamed rice or vegetables for a complete meal and enjoy!
