Are you looking for a tasty and healthy meal option? If so, then this teriyaki flank steak recipe is perfect for you! Flank steak is a lean cut of beef that is low in fat and high in protein. It's also very versatile and can be cooked in a variety of ways, including grilling, pan-searing, or broiling. In this recipe, we will be using the broiling method to cook our flank steak with a homemade teriyaki sauce that is both flavorful and nutritious.
Here are the steps you need to follow:
Ingredients:
- 1 lb flank steak
- 2 tbsp soy sauce
- 2 tbsp honey
- 2 tbsp rice vinegar
- 1 tsp ginger
- 1 tsp garlic
- 1 tbsp cornstarch
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Broccoli florets (optional)
- Brown rice (optional)
Instructions:
1. Start by preheating your oven to broil on high heat. This will help you cook your flank steak quickly and evenly.
2. While the oven is heating up, prepare your teriyaki sauce. In a small bowl, mix together the soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, ginger, garlic, cornstarch, salt, and pepper. Stir everything until well combined.
3. Take your flank steak and place it in a resealable plastic bag. Pour the teriyaki sauce over the steak and make sure it is thoroughly coated. Seal the bag and place it in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes. This will allow the flavors to marinate into the meat and make it more tender and flavorful.
4. Once your flank steak has marinated, remove it from the bag and pat it dry with a paper towel. Place the steak on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and broil it in the oven for 5-7 minutes per side, or until it reaches an internal temperature of 145°F on an instant read thermometer.
5. While the flank steak is cooking, you can prepare your broccoli and brown rice (if using). Steam the broccoli for 5-7 minutes, or until it is tender but still has a bit of crunch. Cook the brown rice according to the package instructions.
6. Once your flank steak is cooked, remove it from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing it thinly against the grain. This will make it easier to chew and help it retain its juices.
7. Serve your teriyaki flank steak with your broccoli and brown rice (if using) on the side. Drizzle some extra teriyaki sauce over the top of the steak for added flavor.
That's it! You now have a delicious and healthy main dish that is perfect for any occasion. Enjoy your teriyaki flank steak with friends or family, or even by yourself if you prefer. This recipe is also great for meal prep, so feel free to double or triple the ingredients and store the leftovers in the fridge for up to a week. Happy cooking!
