Ingredients

  • 2 pounds flank steak
  • 2 cups soy sauce
  • 1/2 cup plus 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup plus 1/4 cup white sugar
  • 8 green onions, cleaned and chopped
  • 4 slices fresh ginger
  • 1 garlic clove, peeled and lightly smashed
  • 1 cup plus 1/2 cup honey
  • 1 tablespoon fish sauce (optional)
  • lime wedges, for garnish

Method

  • In a medium saucepan, make the marinade by combining 1/2 cup brown sugar, 1/2 cup white sugar, green onions, ginger and garlic.
  • Bring mixture to boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 15 minutes.
  • Add in remaining 1/4 cup brown sugar, 1/4 cup white sugar and 1 cup honey.
  • Bring to a boil.
  • The marinade will foam up and double in size.
  • Once it has boiled and doubled in size, immediately remove from heat and let cool.
  • To expedite cooling, you can transfer marinade to a glass or metal bowl and place bowl in an ice bath.
  • When marinade has fully cooled, place meat in marinade for about 12 hours, refrigerated.
  • If you are using bamboo skewers, soak them for at least 30 minutes in water first.
  • When you are ready to cook the steak, heat grill, remove meat from marinade and pat dry.
  • Slice steak 1/4 thick at an angle, against the grain.
