Sweet + Salty + Spicy (just a little) = A steak dinner the whole family will enjoy.

Ingredients

1/4 cup packed brown sugar
1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce
3 tbsp rice vinegar
1 tbsp sesame oil
2 tsp sriracha
2 tsp garlic, finely chopped
2 lb. flank steak
1 tbsp toasted sesame seeds
1/4 cup green onions, sliced

Instructions

In a bowl, whisk together brown sugar, soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, sriracha and garlic. Pour into a re-sealable plastic bag, add steak and seal, squeezing out all air so steak is fully submerged in marinade. Refrigerate for 4 hours or overnight. Let steak come to room temperature before cooking.
Preheat grill to medium-high. Grill steak, turning once, for about 10 min or until internal temperature is 125 to 130F. Let stand for 5 min, then slice against the grain. Sprinkle with green onions and sesame seeds before serving.
