Ingredients
- 1 ½ pounds beef flank steak
- ½ cup soy sauce
- ¼ cup brown sugar
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, minced
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- 4 scallions, chopped (for garnish)
- Cooked rice (for serving)
- Steamed vegetables (for serving)
How to Make Sliced Beef with Savory Sauce
- Start by preparing the marinade. In a bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, brown sugar, minced garlic, minced ginger, rice vinegar, and black pepper until the sugar is dissolved.
- Place the flank steak in a resealable plastic bag and pour the marinade over it. Seal the bag, ensuring the steak is well coated. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or up to 4 hours for more flavor.
- Once marinated, remove the steak from the bag and let it come to room temperature for about 15 minutes. Discard the marinade.
- Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the flank steak and sear for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until it reaches your desired doneness. For medium-rare, aim for an internal temperature of 135°F.
- Remove the steak from the skillet and let it rest for 5 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute.
- Slice the beef thinly against the grain. Arrange on a platter and drizzle with any remaining juices from the skillet.
- Garnish with chopped scallions and serve with cooked rice and steamed vegetables.
Tips for the Best Results
- Make sure to slice the beef against the grain for maximum tenderness.
- Let the steak rest after cooking to keep it juicy.
- Adjust the sweetness of the sauce by adding more or less brown sugar according to your taste.
Easy Variations
- For a spicy kick, add a teaspoon of red pepper flakes to the marinade.
- Substitute flank steak with sirloin or ribeye for a different flavor profile.
- Add vegetables like bell peppers or snap peas to the skillet during the last few minutes of cooking for a one-pan meal.

- Steamed jasmine or brown rice
