Yield 4 people

Number Of Ingredients 12

■2 pounds flank Steak
■1/3 cup soy sauce
■1/4 cup fresh lime juice
■2 tablespoons Thai chili paste (optional, read above)
■2 tablespoons dark sesame oil
■1/4 cup chopped cilantro
■3 tablespoons sliced lemon grass
■1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger
■1 tablespoon ground coriander
■1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
■1 tablespoon fish sauce
■4 cloves garlic, minced

Steps:

1. Mix all ingredients in a bowl then add steak and marinade to a zip lock freezer bag and marinate in the refrigerator for 2 hours or overnight. 2. Preheat grill to high heat (PREheat being the operative word here). Remove steak from marinade, discarding marinade, and grill for 4 or 5 minutes per side turning only once for medium rare. Add a minute or two per side if you want medium well but you run the risk of the steak becoming tough. Your call. Remove the steak and allow it to sit for about 10 minutes before slicing. This will reuslt in a juicier steak. Now very important! Slice the steak on a bias against the grain. This is the trick for making both flank and skirt steaks tender. Serve warm with cooked rice or over a bed of greens or however.
