Asian Flank Steak

ChrisMc's Note:

This is a recipe I found and played with a bit - it's very tasty (probably because of that most Asian of ingredients, ketchup). This works well on the grill or on a broiler.

• Total Time: 24 hrs 15 mins
• Prep Time: 24 hrs
• Cook Time: 15 mins

Ingredients:

Servings: 4

• 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro
• 1 tablespoon crushed garlic (~2 cloves)
• 1 tablespoon finely chopped ginger
• ¼ cup chopped green onion
• ¼ cup ketchup
• ¼ cup pineapple juice
• ¼ cup plum sauce
• ¼ cup soy sauce
• 1 ½ lbs flank steaks (or other steak)

Directions:

1. Tenderize steak- you can use a commercial tenderizer solution, although a solution of baking soda will also tenderize meat.
2. Alternately, you can pound on it with a meat tenderizer.
3. Combine the cilantro, garlic, ginger, onion, ketchup, pineapple juice, plum sauce, and soy sauce.
4. Marinate the steak for at least 3-6 hours, overnight if possible.
5. Grill the steak, basting with the marinade.
6. Simmer the remaining marinade for 5 minutes and serve over the steak.
