Grilled Korean Flank Steak with Spicy Cucumber Salad

Step 1

In a saucepan, bring rice and 2 cups water to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer, covered, 15 minutes. Remove from heat and let sit, covered, until ready to use. Fluff with a fork and season with salt. Top with sesame seeds.

Step 2

In a large bowl, combine ½ cup soy sauce, vegetable oil, half the rice wine vinegar, garlic, ginger, honey, 2 tablespoons sesame oil, and 2 tablespoons Sriracha. Pour half the sauce over flank steak and marinate 10 minutes. Reserve remaining half.

Step 3

Heat a grill or grill pan over high heat. Season steak with salt and pepper and grill 5 to 6 minutes per side for medium-rare. Transfer to a cutting board and let rest 5 minutes, then thinly slice across the grain. Pour juices into small bowl of remaining sauce and stir to combine.

Step 4

Drizzle steak with sauce and garnish with scallions. Serve with cucumber salad and rice.
