Easy Asian Steak Marinade
This recipe for Easy Asian Steak Marinade uses a combination of ponzu, sesame oil, rice wine vinegar, and ginger to tenderize and flavor hanger steak, with options for flap or flank steak as substitutes. The marinade infuses the meat with a citrus-soy blend accented by garlic and optional chili flakes. After marinating from 15 minutes to overnight, the steak is cooked in a hot pan for a nicely browned exterior and a medium-rare interior. Resting the meat before slicing ensures juiciness and texture.
