Easy Korean Flank Steak
A quick and flavorful flank steak marinated in a sweet and savory sauce that is perfect for busy weeknights.
dailyrecipesbook.comThis steak has become a favorite in my house because it is so easy to prepare. The blender marinade works wonders to soften the meat and pack every single bite with delicious flavor.
I love serving this with crisp lettuce cups and a side of fluffy white rice. If you have any extra sauce, make sure to drizzle it over the top before you dig in.

๐ก Tips
Let the meat rest after cooking so the juices stay inside. You can store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days. It tastes even better the next day once the flavors have settled.
