Ingredients
- 2 pound flank steak - OR London broil/flat iron steak/sirloin
- 3 green onions - minced
- 1 inch fresh ginger - grated OR 1 Dorot ginger pod
- 1/3 cup fresh squeezed lime juice
- 1/4 cup coconut aminos - OR half the amount of reduced sodium soy sauce
- 1/4 cup Worcestershire sauce
- 1/3 tsp red pepper flakes
- 1.5 TBSP EVOO/avocado oil
- coarse sea salt - OR Kosher for crust
- fresh ground black pepper - to taste for crust
Instructions
- Add green onions, ginger, lime juice, coconut aminos/soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce and red pepper flakes to a shallow dish. Place the flank steak in the marinade for at least 1 hour, or overnight.
- Steak can be cooked on the grill or on the stovetop. To cook on the stovetop, see Stovetop instructions. To cook on the grill, preheat your grill to high heat.
- Set the steaks on the grill and allow to sear on each side undisturbed for 3-7 minutes depending on the level of doneness you desire (rare = 120F, medium-rare = 125F, medium = 130F). Do not take a flank steak past medium as it will continue to cook when taken off the heat source.
- For either method, finish by placing the steak on a platter to for 10 minutes.
- Slice into thin strips across the grain and serve.
Stovetop Instructions
- To cook on the stove, set stove to medium-high but closer to high. Pat the steak surface dry with paper towels. Coat both sides of the steak liberally with salt and pepper. Be generous, you are creating a crust.
- Add the oil to a cast iron skillet and get the skillet searing hot. Just as the oil seems it will begin to smoke, lay the steak in the pan and allow to sear on each side undisturbed for 3-7 minutes depending on the level of doneness you desire (rare = 120F, medium-rare = 125F, medium = 130F). Do not take a flank steak past medium as it will continue to cook when taken off the heat source.
- For either method, finish by placing the steak on a platter to for 10 minutes.
- Slice into thin strips across the grain and serve.
