This delish flank steak gets rounded out with a super-easy cucumber salad spiked with red pepper flakes.
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 c. short-grain rice (like Arborio)
- kosher salt
- Black sesame seeds, for garnish (optional)
- 1/2 c. plus 1 tbsp. reduced-sodium soy sauce
- 3 tbsp. sesame oil
- 1/2 c. rice wine vinegar
- 3 tbsp. sriracha
- 2 tbsp. honey
- 5 cloves garlic, minced, divided
- 2 tbsp. freshly ground ginger
- 1/4 c. plus 2 tbsp. vegetable oil
- 1 1/2 lb. flank steak
- 1 tsp. sugar
- 1 tsp. red pepper flakes
- 2 large cucumbers, cut lengthwise, seeded, and thinly sliced
- Sliced scallions, for serving
Instructions
- In a medium-sized pot, combine rice with 2 cups of water and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer, covered, 15 minutes. Remove from heat and let sit, covered, until ready to use. Fluff with a fork and season with salt. Garnish with sesame seeds, if using.
- In a large bowl combine 1/2 cup soy sauce, 2 Tbsp. sesame oil, rice wine vinegar, 2 Tbsp. Sriracha, honey, 4 cloves garlic, ginger, and oil in a large bowl. Pour half the sauce into a smaller bowl and set aside. Add flank steak to marinade and let sit 10 minutes.
- For cucumber salad, whisk together rice wine vinegar, remaining tablespoon soy sauce, remaining tablespoon Sriracha, remaining tablespoon sesame oil, sugar, remaining garlic, and red pepper flakes in a large bowl. Stir in cucumbers and season with salt and pepper.
- Heat a grill or grill pan over high heat. Season steak with salt and pepper and grill 5 to 6 minutes per side for medium-rare. Transfer to a cutting board and let rest 5 minutes, then slice thinly across the grain. Pour juices into small bowl of remaining sauce, stirring to combine.
- Serve steak drizzled with sauce and garnished with scallions and with sticky rice and cucumber salad.
