Serving flank steak (a favorite for the grill) Korean style is always a hit—guests make lettuce-leaf bundles with rice and thin slices of the meat and do the garnishing on their own.
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons rice vinegar (not seasoned)
  • 1 tablespoon grated peeled ginger
  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • 2 teaspoons Sriracha (Southeast Asian chile sauce)
  • 2 teaspoons sugar
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons Asian sesame oil
  • 1 to 1 1/4 lb flank steak
  • 2 scallions, finely chopped
  • 2 tablespoons toasted sesame seeds
  • Accompaniments:

    white rice; soft leaf lettuce
  • Stir together soy sauce, vinegar, ginger, garlic, Sriracha, sugar, and sesame oil.
  • Prepare a gas grill for direct-heat cooking over medium-high heat.
  • Oil grill rack, then grill steak, covered, turning over once, 6 to 8 minutes for medium-rare.
  • Transfer steak to a cutting board and drizzle with 2 tablespoons sauce, then let stand, uncovered, 5 minutes. Thinly slice steak across the grain. Serve with remaining sauce, scallions, and sesame seeds.
