Asian Inspired Flank Steak

I pulled a couple of flank steaks out of the freezer yesterday. After thinking about it for a couple of minutes I decided to go with some Asian influenced flavors.

Recipe

Flank Steak

1/2 cup rice wine vinegar

2 TB sesame oil

2 TB ginger paste (you can use fresh grated ginger, I just didn’t have any on hand)

1 tsp salt

1 tsp ground black pepper.

Combine all ingredients (except steak) in a gallon zippy bag. Shake bag to mix ingredients together then add the flank steak. Let sit on the counter to marinade for about 30 minutes. Then grill the steak over medium heat until it reaches the desired doneness.

This came really good. Hints of sesame and ginger with the sweetness of the soy sauce and rice wine vinegar. The veggies are asparagus and artichoke hearts with garlic butter sauce. I can’t take any credit for that because it was a frozen mix from Raley’s but it’s pretty decent none the less.

Edit: Doh! Garlic! This needed garlic! So if you make this, add 3 cloves of mince garlic to the marinade. I knew it was missing something…
