Soy-Glazed Flank Steak

Ingredients:

1/4 cups soy sauce
2 Tb mirin (rice wine~ can substitute white wine with some added sugar or sugar water)
1 Tb rice vinegar (not seasoned)
1 tsp minced fresh ginger
1 tsp crushed red-pepper flakes
1 Tb safflower oil
1 Flank Steak (1 1/4 Lb)
2 tsp coarse salt
1/2 tsp freshly ground pepper

Method:

Bring soy sauce, mirin, vinegar, ginger, garlic, and red-pepper flakes to a boil in a saucepan on high heat. Reduce heat; simmer until reduced by half, about 5 minutes.

Heat a skillet over high heat; add oil. Season steak all over with salt and pepper. Cook for 3 minutes on each side. Reduce heat to medium, and brush top of steak with some glaze; flip, and cook for 1 minute. Brush with remaining glaze, flip, and cook for 1 minute more. Transfer steak to a cutting board; let rest for 5 minutes. Slice steak against the grain into 1/8 inch-thick strips, and serve on top of alongside spring green salad or baked potato.
