"Beef is the soul of cooking."
-Marie-Antoine Carême, 19th century chef

The refrigerator light goes on...

Comparing this with the Garlic Lime Flank Steak shows how different a recipe can be, even though it uses the same cut of meat and the same technique - the only difference here is the marinade. This recipe is not especially spicy, but it can be by simply increasing the amount of hot bean paste.

1 lb flank steak
3 Tbsp fresh ginger (minced)
1 Tbsp dark sesame oil
1 Tbsp low-sodium soy sauce
1 Tbsp rice vinegar
1 Tbsp Splenda or stevia
1 tsp hot bean paste
1/2 cup cilantro leaves

Combine the flank steak, minced ginger, sesame oil, soy sauce, rice vinegar, Splenda, red bean paste and cilantro leaves in a zipper bag. Close the bag and toss to coat the steak well.

Marinate at least four hours in the refrigerator (overnight is best).

When you are ready to cook the steak, preheat the oven to broil or start the barbecue grill on medium-high heat.

Lightly spray a broiler or non-stick grill pan or skillet with oil. Put the flank steak on the pan and place it under the broiler (or place the steak on the grill). Cook for about 8 - 9 minutes on each side for medium-rare.

Remove to a cutting board and allow the meat to rest for about 5 to 10 minutes prior to slicing. Carve the meat as thin as possible and serve.
