I also substitute tenderized round steak in this recipe. It cooks quickly and tastes so good.

Ginger-Soy Flank Steak

2 tablespoons minced fresh ginger
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1 tablespoon red chili flakes
Lime juice from one lime
1 tablespoon brown sugar
4 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon sesame seed oil
1 (1 1/2-pound) flank steak*

* Tenderized round steak may also be substituted in this recipe.

In a small bowl, combine ginger, garlic, chili flakes, lime juice, brown sugar, soy sauce, and sesame seed oil. Pour mixture over flank steak and let marinate for 1 hour.

Either grill, broil, or pan fry flank steak over high heat to medium rare or until the internal temperature reaches desired temperature on your meat thermometer (see below). NOTE: This steak is best cooked rare to medium rare.

    Rare - 120°F
    Medium Rare - 125°F
    Medium - 130°F

Remove from heat and let steak rest 5 minutes before slicing. With a sharp knife, slice steak thinly against (diagonal) the grain. Place on a platter or individual dinner plates.
