Savory Steak Teriyaki: A Twist on a Classic

Elevate Your Grilling Game

Looking for a flavorful and easy-to-make dish perfect for a summer gathering? Look no further! This mouthwatering steak teriyaki recipe puts a tasty spin on the traditional Japanese-inspired dish, substituting flank steak for chicken.

A Marinade That Matters

The key to this recipe’s success lies in the rich, syrupy teriyaki sauce. To create it, combine soy sauce, mirin, brown sugar, freshly grated ginger, and minced garlic in a saucepan. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for 5 minutes, allowing it to thicken. Let it cool before using.

Steak Prep 101

Place the flank steak in a large zippered plastic bag and pour half of the teriyaki sauce over it. Refrigerate for at least 8 hours or overnight, reserving the remaining sauce for later. Before grilling, remove the steak from the marinade and let it come to room temperature.

Grilling Perfection

Preheat your charcoal grill to medium-high heat and clean the grill grate. Arrange the steak on one side of the grill and a bunch of large green onions on the other. Cover the grill and cook, turning the steak occasionally, until it reaches medium-rare (about 115–120°F). Transfer the steak and green onions to a cutting board, tent with foil, and rest for 10 minutes.

The Finishing Touches

Thinly slice the steak against the grain and transfer it to a warm platter alongside the grilled green onions. Garnish with sesame seeds and serve with steamed rice, passing the reserved teriyaki sauce on the side.
