A flavorful and easy-to-make Korean-inspired grilled steak recipe.
Combine the soy sauce, ginger, brown sugar, cayenne pepper, and garlic in a mixing bowl.
Mix the marinade thoroughly to ensure all flavors are well combined.
Place the steak in a ziploc bag and pour the marinade over it. Seal the bag and refrigerate for 1 to 4 hours.
Turn the bag occasionally to ensure the steak marinates evenly.
Preheat a grill pan over medium-high heat. Remove the steak from the marinade and pat it dry with a paper towel.
A hot grill pan ensures a good sear on the steak.
Grill the steak for 6 to 8 minutes per side for medium-rare, adjusting time for desired doneness.
Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature for perfect doneness.
Let the steak rest on a cutting board for 10 minutes before slicing.
Resting allows the juices to redistribute, keeping the steak tender.
Slice the steak thinly against the grain and serve.
Slicing against the grain makes the steak easier to chew.
