Teriyaki Steak

Summary

• Prep Time: overnight up to 2 full days
• Cooking Time: 10-15 minutes
• Servings: 3-4

Ingredients

• 1 beef flank steak, as large as you need
• 1 15-oz jar, teriyaki sauce (I prefer the "JES" brand's "Marinade & Sauce - Spicy")
• 1-2 bundles, green onions, cut into 1 inch lengths
• 1 tsp, sesame seeds
• 2-4 cloves, fresh pressed garlic

Preparation

1. Place all ingredients into a large plastic bag with a strong seal. Rotate bag to ensure that all ingredients are well-mixed and the steak is fully coated in the sauce.
2. Place bag into refrigerator. Marinate at least overnight, but preferably 1-2 full days. Rotate bag every few hours to ensure steak is fully marinated.

Cooking

• Grilling (Gas)
  1. Remove steak from bag and place on a clean plate. Important: Immediately throw away the bag and all remaining marinade in the bag (this is a health concern!)
  2. Light the grill and let it warm up. When warmed, set the grill to "High"
  3. Place steak onto the grill and sear for one minute. At the one minute mark, flip the steak over and sear the other side for one minute
  4. Reduce heat to medium, and flip steak. Grill for an additional 3-4 minutes (flipping at the halfway mark) for a very rare steak (strongly recommended!), or an additional 4-7 minutes for a medium-rare to medium steak
• Broiling
  1. Move rack in the oven so that when the steak is on the broiling pan, it will be 3-4 inches from the heating elements
  2. Line the bottom of your broiling pan with aluminum foil to reduce the mess from this meal, cover the aluminum foil with the rack for the meat
  3. Set oven to broil, wait for oven to reach broiling temperature
  4. Remove bag from fridge, remove steak from bag and place steak on the broiling rack. Important: Immediately throw away the bag and all remaining marinade in the bag (this is a health concern!)
  5. Place broiling pan into oven. Cook until meat achieves desired level of doneness, making sure to flip the meat at the halfway mark (in my oven, rare is acheived in 5-7 minutes, your oven may vary!
