Recipe: Zen Pepper Steak

This turned out so well it became steak sandwiches for lunch today... last night it was served with creamed spinach instead. Enjoy!

Ingredients:

1 3/4 lb. of lean flank steak, cut into 6 equal portions
3/4 cup of soy sauce
1/2 cup of mirin (Japanese cooking sake)
4 tbsp. of minced garlic
2 tbsp. of minced ginger
1 1/2 tbsp. of rice vinegar
1 1/2 tsp. of sesame oil
1 tsp. of chili oil
2 tsp. of hot sauce (I prefer Sriracha, and I up it to 3 tsp. 'cause I like the heat)
2 1/2 tsp. of yuzu juice (Japanese citrus... no yuzu? Use lime juice)
1 1/2 cup of chopped scallions (green and white parts - about 1 bunch)
1 red bell pepper, diced

Directions:

Whisk together all ingredients but the steak into a bowl. In another large bowl, place the steak cuts. Pour the mixture over the steak cuts, cover in plastic wrap, place in refrigerator, and let marinate for at least 8 hours or overnight.

Heat the grill to medium-high heat. Put the steak on the grill and grill for 7 - 8 minutes on each side (for medium-rare), basting the steak in the marinade constantly to keep it moist. Serve either as is or slice into thinner pieces and serve.

Makes 6 servings.
