How to Make Asian Flank Steak
Step #1: Preheat your oven’s broiler to High. Place the flank steak on a broiler pan. I’m not sure why, but I only recently started using my broiler for cooking meat. Mostly I just used it for making nachos and roasting poblanos. I was binge-watching the Food Network not too long ago, and someone on some show said that a broiler is really just like an upside-down grill. Aha moment! I had never thought about it that way, but it makes total sense and gave me the extra push I needed to start broiling my meats. Enjoy! Step #2: Combine the hoisin sauce, ginger, and lime zest in a small bowl. Brush half of the mixture onto the top of the flank steak. Step #3: Broil for 6 minutes, then remove the pan from the oven and turn the steak onto the other side. Brush with the remaining glaze, then return to the oven for another 6 minutes (or until cooked to your liking). Step #4: Transfer to a cutting board and let rest for 5 minutes. Slice diagonally across the grain. To reheat, thaw frozen steak in the refrigerator overnight. Warm in a skillet over medium heat for a few minutes, or microwave briefly to maintain its juicy texture and rich flavor.
