Teriyaki Flank Steak with Scallions


This recipe is more Asian than Taiwanese, but it is fantastic so I thought I would share it with you anyway. The teriyaki sauce is bold and pairs perfectly with the steak. I serve the meat with white rice and steamed broccoli. The leftovers (steak, rice, and broccoli) make for great fried rice.

Ingredients:
1/2 cup soy sauce
1/3 cup sugar
2 tablespoons rice vinegar
1 tablespoon fresh ginger, minced
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1 teaspoon cornstarch
1 flank steak (about 1 1/2 pounds)
Salt & pepper
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
12 scallions, cut into 1-inch lengths
2 teaspoons toasted sesame seeds

Directions:
1. Whisk soy sauce, sugar, vinegar, ginger, pepper flakes, and cornstarch in medium bowl.

2. Pat steak dry with paper towels. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until just smoking. Cook steak until well browned and cooked to desired doneness, 4 to 6 minutes per side. Transfer to cutting board and tent with foil. Let rest for at least 5 minutes.

3. Add remaining oil and scallions to empty skillet and cook until lightly browned, 2 to 3 minutes; transfer to bowl. Stir soy sauce mixture and any accumulated beef juices into skillet and simmer, scraping up any browned bits, until thickened, 2 to 3 minutes. Slice beef thin on bias against grain. Transfer to platter and top with sauce, scallions, and sesame seeds. Serve with rice.
