A thick, tender steak that gets most of it’s flavor from soy sauce–but you’ll taste garlic and ginger, too. Inspired by Travis’ “Grilled Marinated Steak”

Ready in: 1 hour 25 mins

Ingredients

Makes: 1 steak

• 1 cup soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon sugar
• 1 tablespoon minced garlic
• 1 teaspoon ground ginger
• 1 flat iron steak (or more)

Preparation method

Prep: 10 mins | Cook: 15 mins | Extra time: 1 hour, marinating

1. Combine all ingredients except steak in a large plastic resealable bag. Add steak, seal the bag, and turn to coat. Refrigerate for 1 hour to marinate.

2. Heat your gas or charcoal grill to high (Here’s how to tell if it’s high: Hold your hand about four inches above the cooking surface. After 2 to 3 seconds, the heat will force you to pull your hand away.)

3. Oil the grill grate, using an oiled rag.

4. Remove steak from marinade and place on the grill. Use these cooking times to cook your steak to medium: 2 to 3 minutes per side for a 1/2-inch thick steak, 4 to 6 minutes per side for a 1-inch thick steak, 6 to 9 minutes per side for a 1 1/2 to 2-inch thick steak.

5. Take the steak off the grill. Let rest 2 to 3 minutes to allow the juices to reabsorb into the steak. Serve.Note

Recipe makes just over 1 cup of marinade, enough for 2 pounds of steak.
