Flank Steak Marinade
- ½ cup low sodium soy sauce or GF tamari soy-free tamari or coconut aminos
- ½ cup dry sake
- 3 tablespoons honey or agave syrup or zero-sugar honey
- 2 tablespoons ginger puree jar or tube
- ¼ cup balsamic vinegar
- 3 large garlic cloves chopped fine
- 1½ tablespoons finely chopped chives
Flank Steak
- 1 ½ -2 pounds flank steak
Make the marinade by combining all marinade ingredients.
Slice the flank steak across the grain into ½” (1 ½ cm) wide strips. If the steak is very wide, you can slice it in half lengthwise with the grain first, then cross grain into strips. Place steak in a bowl, mix with marinade, then cover with plastic and allow to stand 45-60 minutes at room temperature. You can also mix it in a zip bag, press out the air and marinate.
Heat a large non-stick sauté or fry pan over medium heat. Drain marinade from steak through a sieve and set aside. Lay steak strips flat in the hot pan; don’t crowd them. Cook until one side is a browned and getting caramelized edges. Flip the pieces over and cook just briefly, then remove to a rimmed baking sheet or plate. Repeat with the other pieces until done.
Note – If you want extra sauce to drizzle over the steak, make more fresh marinade and cook it down until it's thickened in a small pan.
