I saw this in my Cooking Light magazine (March 2009) and knew I had to give it a try. To make life easier, I “accessorized” my dinner by stopping off at my local Chinese takeout for shrimp fried rice, green beans and peapods.
Asian Marinated Flank Steak
- 3 tablespoons your favorite stir fry sauce
- 2 tablespoons water
- 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 2 teaspoons fresh grated ginger
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1/8 tsp. crushed red pepper
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 pound flank steak (trimmed of visible fat)
Put all ingredients in a ziploc bag and marinate for 10 to 24 hours. (I put mine in the fridge this morning). Flank steak needs to marinate because it is a tough meat, and it doesn’t take long to cook. Only 4 minutes a side on a hot grill, and I let it rest for 5 minutes before cutting it across the grain.
perfect medium rare!
My plate: 3 ounces steak, 3 ounces green beans, 3 ounces shrimp fried rice and 3 ounces carrots/peapods

I love Asian marinated anything. This looks so good and flank is one of my favorite cuts as it goes really far in serving a crowd.
Does it get much better than shrimp fried rice and steak? I think not.
I love the idea of “accessorizing” your dinner. I also love Cooking Light! Your meal looks so gooood!
Yay for an early Friday 🙂
Next time I make the flank steak I will marinate it!!
Now I see where I went wrong, since mine was so tough!
Nice accessorizing!!
Looks amazing!! that is exactly how I like my steak nice and pink!
