Steak Preparation
  1. In a medium bowl, combine soy sauce, brown sugar, sesame oil, minced garlic, and grated ginger to create the marinade. Add flank steak, cover, and refrigerate for 30 minutes.

Cooking Steak
  1. Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear marinated steak for 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare. Let rest before slicing.
Sautéing Vegetables

Slicing Steak
