Ingredients
Instructions
- Mix together soy sauce, sugar, and ground ginger.
- Marinate the steak in the mixture for 30 to 45 minutes, no longer.
- Broil or barbecuer the marinated steak until cooked to your desired doneness.
Tips & Substitutions
For a deeper flavor, let the steak marinate for the full 45 minutes, but no longer to avoid a mushy texture. If you don’t have soy sauce, you can substitute with tamari for a gluten-free option. Adding minced garlic or a splash of vinegar can enhance the marinade's complexity. Consider pairing with sides like Seafoam Cole Slaw for a refreshing contrast.
Serving Suggestions
Slice the steak against the grain for tenderness and serve it with grilled vegetables or a fresh salad. It pairs wonderfully with sides like Grapes 'N' Spinach Salad for a vibrant meal. For an elevated presentation, drizzle a touch of the marinade reduction over the top before serving.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover marinated steak in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, gently warm it in a skillet over medium heat, adding a splash of water or broth to keep it juicy. Avoid microwaving as it can make the meat tough.
