Ginger Soy Flank Steak

I have to begin by apologizing for not having a picture of this recipe. We ended up eating it too fast :)

Ingredients:

2 TBS minced ginger (I substituted with the dry stuff, using about 1 tsp instead)
1 TBS minced garlic
1 TBS crushed red pepper flakes
1 TBS brown sugar
1 lime, juice of
4 TBS soy sauce
1 TBS dark sesame oil
1 1/2 lbs. flank steak (another substitution here. Flank steaks at Wegman's were $20. Sirloin steaks were $5. I prefer the more tender sirloin anyways.)

Directions:

Mix together all ingredients. Marinate at least 1 hour, preferably more.

Grill.

If you're using flank steak, allow 5 minutes to cool and cut across the grain.



Verdict:

I have to admit that we were a little leary of this recipe once I put it all together. Honestly, it STINKS. It stunk up the fridge. It stunk up the kitchen. It stunk while grilling. But the taste? Delicious! This marinade is definitely a keeper. Especially with a few substitions (the ground ginger, minced garlic from the fridge, lime juice from a bottle) this recipe is easy to prepare last minute.
