Ingredients

  • 2 lbs flank steak

Marinade

  • 2 Tbsps cornstarch
  • 2 Tbsps Mirin (Chinese cooking wine) or sub dry sherry or broth
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce

Sauce

  • 6 Tbsps soy sauce
  • 6 Tbsps liquid honey
  • 3 Tbsps oyster sauce or sub fish sauce
  • 4 Tbsps Mirin (Chinese cooking wine) or sub dry sherry or broth
  • 4 Tbsps water
  • 2 tsps crushed black pepper crush whole pepper corns with a rolling pin to coarse pieces
  • green onions trimmed and sliced diagonally -optional
  • red chile peppers minced -optional

Instructions

  • Mix the marinade ingredients in a sealable bag or container. Add your the flank steak and marinate 20 minutes to 24 hours.
  • Preheat your broiler or grill. Broil flank steak to medium rare- about 4 minutes a side. Remove from heat and cover loosely with foil for about 5 minutes. Thinly slice the flank steak against the grain. You may want to cut the slices down the middle so you have 4-6 inch thin pieces.
  • Meanwhile in a large wok or saute pan combine the sauce ingredients except for the crushed black pepper. Bring to a boil over high heat. Add the flank steak and stir. Cook for 1-2 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in half the crushed pepper. Reserve the remainder to garnish the finished dish,
  • Garnish with green onions and red chile peppers if desired. Serve over plain rice or noodles.
