Tips & Substitutions
For extra flavor, marinate the steak for at least 30 minutes or up to overnight. If you don't have brown sugar, you can use honey or maple syrup as a substitute. Adjust the garlic and ginger according to your taste preferences; fresh ginger can be used instead of ground ginger for a more vibrant flavor.
